 Attached is a concept for allowing plugins to have dedicated action/filter
 loops.

 The problem:

 * Plugins like !BuddyPress and bbPress that have their own actions and
 filters pollute the global action/filter namespace. This isn't necessarily
 bad, but it's arguably not optimal.
 * Allowing plugins to have their own action/filter hooks means mirror
 action/filter names to match what's used in !WordPress, without adding
 more items to the global action/filter array.
 * !BuddyPress and bbPress namespace their actions with prefixes, I.E.
 'bp_init', 'bp_ready' et all. This works fine, and is straightforward to
 use, so I'm not really even sure this patch is that good.
 * More conceptual than anything; it's intended as a fun experiment to toy
 with a new way of looking at !WordPress how actions/filters might evolve
 in the future.

 Attached is a big patch with a small example file. The patch is ugly
 looking, due to running out of time in the day and wanting feedback
 sooner.
