 This is really neat. I like how simple it is. I have a problem with the
 semantics, though.

 I'd rather we didn't use template_redirect, but instead ride on the
 shoulders of template_include and pull in the generic.php or
 plugin-{slug}.php from that point within WordPress core.

 If plugins are expected to develop things to work and look like wordPress
 core, it needs to be just a bit easier to do it the WordPress way.
