Comment:

 It was a crazy idea that's evolving into something that maybe has
 potential, so yeah, lotta bad ideas at first. :P

 The latest concept (that I mentioned above) is just adding a third
 (optional) parameter to the function called "context" (or something).
 You'd pass the function name (`__FUNCTION__` is an easy way to do this)
 and then if that parameter is set, then a filter called
 `wp_parse_args_the_context_value` would be run. No context, no filter is
 run.

 Using that setup (passing what function is using `wp_parse_args()`), you
 can do quite a bit. For example, here's the reason I came up with this
 concept in the first place:
