 > Now, because 2x is all the rage amongst some people today, what we can
 do, is make it easier for Themes/Plugins to request the generation through
 add_theme_support() or similar, which would probably just do an
 add_image_size() for the existing images, and mark the image as a 2x for
 the 1x alternative.

 I have created a plugin that uses this method. There were a few areas that
 were difficult for me to find an appropriate hook to use though, the
 gallery thumbnails for example.

 I would be happy to help contribute to this! Plugin:
