Comment (by ryan):

 We need register_option().   This would look much like register_meta() and
 live in wp-includes/functions.php with the other *_option() functions.
 Plugins would call this during init so that their options always have
 sanitization registered in case XML-RPC or other places manipulate the
 option.

 If we lose options.php there is no need to keep a big list of what is
 registered for each page.  Each page will have their own POST and XHR
 handlers and will know what options it deals with.

 This leaves Sections and Settings within the Sections.  Something like
 prettyboymp's API seems fine for this.  I would probably lose the
 *_menu_page() level stuff.  I think that should be done separately and
 section and settings should be registered in response to the page load
 hook for the desired page being fired.
