 To anyone who uses "plugins" to package components that contain UI
 elements, this might be a no-brainer. Themes have a dead simple way of
 loading template parts from anywhere without having to resolve paths:
 `get_template_part()`. Because the arguments passed are arbitrary strings,
 it's easy to reference templates in deep directories by doing
 `get_template_part( 'artist/reviews', 'main' )` and the like.

 This is all well and good, but it would awesome to be able to grab
 "template parts" from plugins as well, from anywhere, without having to
 resolve path dependencies on your own.

 I attempt to solve this with `get_plugin_part()`

 Example for a plugin called JJJ, which has a template called `cat-
 meow.php` in a folder called `views`:

 `get_plugin_part( 'jjj', 'views/cat', 'meow' );`
