 I know that we'll be looking into changes needed for the header for the MU
 merge after 2.9 ships, however, I think it'd be very useful to add some
 hooks to the header now..

 Occasionally plugins have a need to add content to the headerbar, be it
 adding an extra section beside whats there, or modifying it. I've seen
 some plugins use Javascript to achieve this so far, and another using the
 favourite actions filter as an action to output its content before the
 dropdown was displayed..

 I'd like to propose 2 new filters:
  1. in_admin_header - allows adding extra content to the header
  2. admin_user_info_links - Filters the Hello, user | Turbo | Logout links

 The first would be useful for plugins to add a div or anything else to the
 header section, The latter as being rather useful for user-related
 plugins, giving them the ability to perform other tasks straight from
 there (In my case, A link to jump to super-user mode)

 Any feedback on them is appreciated, I was surprised to find that there
 were no filters in this section of the document yet.
