 I'm all for embracing/setting standards while we make changes like this.
 And Web Intents seem to be exactly what we're talking about here.

 just the after-post action hook.

 As much as I like the idea of a set of hooks, I think that many hooks
 might just clutter things up.  Don't get me wrong, I like having plenty of
 hooks, but some of the advanced "frameworks" out there already do this.
 And some are essentially unapproachable for newer theme devs.  I get more
 "how do I do X with Genesis?  I can't find the right hook!" emails than
 anything else.

 I think `post_intents()` in this case is a bit more descriptive than
 `post_extras()`.  We have a lot of things in the WP ecosystem that are
 poorly named as is ... so let's try to keep an eye on what it is we're
 trying to build, what standards we may/may not be trying to reflect, and
 try to keep on target.  "Extras" is too ambiguous IMO.
