Comment:

 In 29118.diff, introduce `remove_rewrite_rule()`, which is a facade for
 the `remove_rule()` method on the `WP_Rewrite` class.

 This allows for a more intuitive API, and comprehensible boilerplate for
 plugin developers:

 {{{
 #!php
 function add_some_rewrite_rules() {
         add_rewrite_rule( ... );
 }
 add_action( 'init', 'add_some_rewrite_rules' );

 function remove_some_rewrite_rules() {
         remove_rewrite_rule( ... );
 }

 register_activation_hook( __FILE__, function() {
         add_some_rewrite_rules();
         flush_rewrite_rules();
 } );

 register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, function() {
         remove_some_rewrite_rules();
         flush_rewrite_rules();
 } );
 }}}
