 Currently we don't make it too easy for plugins (and themes I suppose) to
 get access to the information passed in the second argument to
 `add_theme_support()`.

 To get more information about a theme's support for post thumbnails for
 example, a plugin would have to assign the return value of
 `get_theme_support()` to a variable and then access the value stored in
 the first key of the returned array:
 {{{
 #!php
 $support = get_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
 $actual_support = $support[0];
 }}}

 While this is not ideal for core features that themes need to register
 support for, it gets painful quickly when themes and plugins want to deal
 with information coupled to a custom feature.
