Comment:

 The overwhelming scenario where extract() is used in WP is this:

 {{{
 function some_function( $args = array() ) {
   $defaults = array(
     'foo' => 'bar',
     ...
   );

   $args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );

   extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );

   ...
 }
 }}}

 As long as the `$defaults` array contains all the variables that will be
 used further down, I don't think it's a problem.
