Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 it could easily make it in 2.8, too. I sort of need this for one of my own
 plugins, and I'm apparently not alone. currently, I end up re-opening
 every plugin file a second time to extract a single field. it has worked
 well for 3 WP versions, at it'll continue to work for another one, but
 that hardly is the most efficient way to do things.

 imo, this should get into 2.8, since it works and you've at least two
 people here who are ready to nail down potential issues on the spot. and
 we'd enhance it afterwards (though I can't think of anything *else* we'd
 want in addition).

 else, the ticket may end up just sitting there for years, as is so typical
 in trac.
