Comment:

 For the transients API, wp_options is just a fallback. The primary storage
 is a persistent cache backend, such as Memcache. Therefore, it doesn't
 make any sense to "extend the transients API" to other tables.

 Since we already have the Transients API, I don't see why plugin authors
 would create their own tables for ''temporary'' data, unless they had a
 specific need, in which case we couldn't provide a generic API anyway.
