Comment:

 I went ahead and refreshed the patch with extract / array usage as
 discussed with @scribu

 I think we should have another dev hop in on this conversation, it seems
 like including a file with get_template_part or load_template and having
 the ability to scope variables in, is something that people work around
 with ''dirty'' global variables.

 It would seem like this would improve usage of core theming functions like
 these as opposed to include/require.

 Even with @wonderboymusic's idea, that could work as a work-around, but
 then everyone has to add that function and it'll be another thing every
 themer bakes differently.

 The inclusion of this patch seems rudimentary, it holds great value, and
 I'd like to open this discussion up to any core developer or theme
 developer who may have other points to make.
