 About a year ago, Rarst released a plugin named Advanced Hooks API
 (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-hooks-api/) that adds a
 number of (experimental) wrappers that allow one to hook more elaborate
 events without coding intermediary functions. One of these wrappers in
 particular (add_action_with_args) would save theme and plugin devs an
 annoying amount of work writing dummy functions to simply hook a callback
 that requires a few specific params.

 I pulled just that functionality out of his plugin, distilled it to it's
 simplest form, and added it in to plugin.php. I think this functionality
 has legs, and a number of others agree, but some are not convinced it has
 a home in core. I would LOVE to see it there, as I said it would eliminate
 a ton of unnecessary work, but I present it to you who are smarter than me
 to talk through why it should/shouldn't be.

 Here are some sample use-cases: https://gist.github.com/3928941
