 Replying to [comment:8 sirzooro]:
 > I think it will be good to implement some mechanism for checking which
 plugin is the owner of custom object-cache.php and/or db.php - this
 information may be helpful for user too. I think of new filter, or special
 tag added at beginning of custom file.

 Drop-ins are often not tied to an active plugin -- take ryan's memcached
 object cache for example, which is simply an object-cache.php file with
 instructions to copy it to wp-content. I imagine db drop-ins are similar.

 Some drop-ins like these do have headers, though, and we'll be able to use
 get_plugin_data() to read them. If they don't have them, then at the very
 least, we'll know that the files exist. (Same applies to mu plugins.) We
 could compare any headers with those from wp-content/plugins as well, I
 suppose, and x-ref as necessary.
