Comment (by chipbennett):

 After reading over all of the comments, my initial opinion is that hacking
 up `get_template_part()` really isn't the best approach. I think the
 `the_rest()` idea has merit (although we need to come up with a ''much''
 more semantic name for the function).

 However, if the intent is to implement standard hooks, then let's just do
 that: define and implement standard hooks. [http://www.wptavern.com/forum
 /themes-templates/494-standard-theme-hook-names.html The idea was brought
 up a long time ago], but as far as I could tell, no consensus was ever
 reached.

 So, I propose that we do this, and we do it right, the first time:

 * Standardize on a hook nomenclature
 * Standardize a list of Theme "locations" for which action hooks are
 appropriate
 * Wrap those hooks in template tags, as with `wp_head()` and `wp_footer()`
 * Require Themes to implement the template tags, as is currently required
 for `wp_head()` and `wp_footer()`

 In the long run, this approach has all the benefits of both the
 `get_template_part_{hook}` approach and the `the_rest()` approach, and
 will be far more flexible for Themes, Plugins, AND core.
