Comment:

 I think we're missing the whole point of `get_template_part` here. It's
 not just an alias for `require`, it's the whole child-parent model which
 allows you to define fallback templates. Unless plugins can adopt a
 similar model, I don't see any value in creating a wrapper function over
 `require`, besides, if you want someone to be able to override the
 included template in your plugin, just pass it through a filter:

 {{{
 require( apply_filters( 'jjj_cat_meow_view', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/views
 /cat-meow.php' ) );
 }}}
