Comment:
I think this is one of those situations where it is so close but we don't
have it. The feature doesn't quite know what it wants to do, what it is
supposed to do, or where it should be used. From IRC:
* "my original use case was for overriding images and JS in a child
theme, but i can see that it could potentially introduce bad practices in
child themes" (johnbillion)
* "I'm currently in punt because it keeps getting more weird and awkward"
(westi)
* "I think the original idea was great, but it just seems to open the
door for too much strange/bad practice" (westi)
* "I'm ok with punting, i use my own version of the function in my own
themes anyway" (johnbillion)
