Comment (by johnbillion):

 Thanks for the thorough explanation of your patch Chris. I really like
 this approach. The original patch by Yoast didn't make it a lot easier for
 plugins to avoid stepping on each other's toes. Using an associative array
 solves this (I use a similar system for breadcrumb components in my theme
 framework).

 The only major problem I can see with the patch is that the
 `pre_wp_title_tag` filter is ripe for abuse. By allowing plugins to hook
 into this filter we actually undo all the other hard work that allows the
 separate title components to be filtered.

 If one single plugin on your site decides to use the `pre_wp_title_tag`
 filter then we're back at square one and all our hard work is for nothing.
 The main `title_tag_filter` filter hasn't run at this point, so changes to
 the content title made by another plugin is not going to be taken into
 account. I'd like to recommend removing the `pre_wp_title_tag` filter.
