 Enhancement: new "section" column to wp_options table
 The new column will be used to organize options better. It may serve as a
 namespace for options. Each plugin will get its section. This way it will
 be easier to clean the wp_options table from unused options, easier to
 call all the options of a plugin/theme. For now developers use hacks like
 naming all the options with a "namespace_" at the begining, or saving all
 the options in one big option cell. Transients will go to "transient"
 section, etc.
 It will be easier to make this compatible with older versions of WP.
