Comment(by strider72):
New patch. I've abstracted the header-fetching to a separate function
which is used by both plugins and themes. So, yes, this patch adds both
an extra_plugin_headers hook and an extra_theme_headers hook.
Basically, you can make a wrapper function that:
1) defines an array of the headers to be searched for
2) passes it to get_file_data() along with the file
3) optionally, passes a $context string that automatically instantiates an
extra_$context_headers hook.
This also allows plugins to use this function to search for similarly
styled headers in different types of files. Makes it easy for a plugin to
fetch data relating to custom config files or such that apply to itself.
