Comment:

 I am not a fan of this.

 $_data should always be an array and should be extracted. It should be for
 passing variables, not arbitrary data.

 Globals and query variables should not be extracted, as they are now. It's
 confusing and lame. That means this should not be get_template_part(), and
 it should instead be something like wp_load_template() (similar to the old
 bb_load_template()).

 This would essentially be a new utility function, a clean break from
 everything else. get_template_part() is designed for template
 modularization and child theme inheritance, let's not complicate it
 further.
