 Should there be some more security around the use of uninstall.php,
 possibly giving the user the ability to chose whether to delete the
 options stored by the plugin or not? Even though WP_UNINSTALL_PLUGIN is
 one safeguard, is it the best?

 As it stands now, sadly, any plugin can add/update/delete options with
 this function. Or it would be great to be able to add the ability for
 WordPress to notify the user of what options the plugin is about to
 delete.

 I am not sure the best course of action on this, but feel that there may
 be some room for improvement here.
