Comment:

 Thanks for the patch @ryanshoover and congrats on your first core
 submission.  I like what you've done with the function as far as making it
 leaner, and I also agree with your approach to the filter situation.
 Since the filters mentioned by @spacedmonkey are applied elsewhere with
 slightly different use cases, I think adding a new filter to this method
 is a good solution.  While it would require plugin authors that are
 modifying this method to update their code, it would still provide them
 with a mechanism for doing so, which I think is the least of the evils.

 IMO, this is ready to go.
