Comment:

 Gosh, it acutally is almost like locate_template. You are right
 @SergeyBiryukov .

 Here is a case @johnbillion :

 - Parent-Theme has plenty of files.
 - Child-Theme inherits only the ones it likes.

 Problem:

 - Usually the parent themes would use `get_template_directory()`
 - This causes that the ones from child themes won't be loaded
 automatically.
 - Inheritance is broken

 Solution:

 - Parent themes use another function to resolve files.

 Now that I see that there is `locate_template` it is quite obvious that
 themes could already have better inheritance for child-themes. I guess
 someone just have to use it :/

 I have to blog about this and spread the words. Sorry for this issue.
