 Replying to [comment:2 nacin]:
 > Hmm. Aside from the fact that add_post_type_page() is far, far too
 ambiguous of a name (not your fault, you're just following existing
 convention), what's the use case here?

 I agree the name is vague, but wasn't sure about naming outside the
 convention.

 My particular use cases are as follows:
 * settings page for a plugin using CPTs
 * archive page info (page title / description) for CPT (not a taxonomy)
 * a drag and drop sorting page for CPT

 these are just examples of things I've done this week for actual client
 work.

 the ticket you referenced wouldn't address this as it isn't modifying an
 argument to the post type itself, rather, adding a new menu page.

 actual hook naming aside, my goal here was standardization, since CPTs are
 now so widely used.
