 without careful consideration

 Weary?  How can you be tired of adding hooks there, as there are no hooks
 there now!

 Oh, you mean ''"wary"''... ;-)

 But seriously though, `get_included_files()` seems like a good solution,
 except the hook `'debug_bar_panels'` is fired before `/wp-includes
 /template-loader.php` is included, so none of the theme files are
 available then.

 Of course one can call `get_included_files()` and then use `jQuery` to add
 them back into the debug panel but personally I really much prefer to do
 things in PHP whenever possible; it's so much more testable and robust to
 use PHP.

 That said, I'm curious what types of concerns you have able adding this
 hook, and hooks like @sival asks for in '''#18803'''?  Aren't these little
 different than the `'template_include'` hook which lets someone completely
 change the template?
