Comment (by ryanshoover):

 The existing `wp_get_attachment_image_src` fucntion is oddly named as it
 returns 4 different values, only one of which corresponds to the function
 name.

 The mindset with the new `wp_get_attachment_image_attr` is that it's a
 single function that can retrieve a number of relevant image attributes.
 Rather than continue to "tweak" a function that should be renamed, themers
 can now call `wp_get_attachment_image_attr( $attachment_id, 'alt' );` to
 get the image alt tag. If the themer wants to do more complex creation of
 an image tag, `wp_get_attachment_image_attr( $attachment_id );` will
 return all attributes needed to create a full `<img>` tag.

 {{{
 $attrs = wp_get_attachment_attr( $attachment_id );

 // Echo the image.
 ?>
 <img
     src="<?php echo esc_url( $attrs['src'] ); ?>"
     alt="<?php echo esc_attr( $attrs['alt'] ); ?>"
     class="<?php echo esc_attr( $attrs['class'] ); ?>"
     width="<?php echo esc_attr( $attrs['width'] ); ?>"
     height="<?php echo esc_attr( $attrs['height'] ); ?>"
     srcset="<?php echo esc_attr( $attrs['srcset'] ); ?>"
     sizes="<?php echo esc_attr( $attrs['sizes'] ); ?>"
 >
 <?php
 }}}

 Can I propose that we accept this patch adding a new function? Or do I
 have clear direction to rework `wp_get_attachment_image_src` to also
 return the alt attribute as a 5th element in an indexed array?
