 Part of that was me asking why we even need {{{wp_get_login_form()}}} at
 all. It sounds like a function that would pretty much always be echoed
 when used. At most, I would think it should be a {{{wp_login_form()}}}
 function that allows you to pass {{{array('echo' => false)}}}, not a get_*
 function that supports echoing.
