Comment(by vteixeira):

 I also thought there were already a ticket for this, that's why I searched
 before posting.

 The ticket #8599 doesn't solve our problems since we would still need to
 register image sizes and all the images would be resized on all that
 sizes...

 I first made this function because I was working on a website where I had
 more than 12 different 'add_image_size()' on my functions.php file.
 Well, with the 3 other sizes that WordPress creates automatically, you can
 make the math...
 For each image uploaded I had 15 different files plus the original - 16
 files for one image!

 Since I really didn't want to use timthumb I decided to make my own
 function using what's already available on WP.

 But then I thought I could go one step further and make it available to
 resize any image, not just attachments.
 And I also want the theme developer to have complete control over the html
 - no html generated!

 That's it.

 I think we need something like this in core for 3.1, everyone needs it.
