 I was doing a bit of template testing this morning when I noticed that
 template hierarchy may be broke in the latest trunk. Steps to reproduce:

 1. Create a test theme with front-page.php and index.php.
 2. Ensure that Settings -> Reading -> "Enable a static front page" is
 unchecked.
 3. Visit http://example.com/

 At this point, index.php is used to load the content.

 4. Check the Settings -> Reading -> "Enable a static front page" option.
 3. Visit http://example.com/

 At this point, front-page.php is used to load the content.

 I ran the same test in 3.4.2 and front-page.php was always loaded for
 http://example.com/ regardless of the Settings -> Reading -> "Front page
 displays" setting.
