21883,WP_Plugin action/filter concept,johnjamesjacoby,,"Attached is a concept for allowing plugins to have dedicated action/filter loops.

The problem:

* Plugins like !BuddyPress and bbPress that have their own actions and filters pollute the global action/filter namespace. This isn't necessarily bad, but it's arguably not optimal.
* Allowing plugins to have their own action/filter hooks means mirror action/filter names to match what's used in !WordPress, without adding more items to the global action/filter array.
* !BuddyPress and bbPress namespace their actions with prefixes, I.E. 'bp_init', 'bp_ready' et all. This works fine, and is straightforward to use, so I'm not really even sure this patch is that good.
* More conceptual than anything; it's intended as a fun experiment to toy with a new way of looking at !WordPress how actions/filters might evolve in the future.

Attached is a big patch with a small example file. The patch is ugly looking, due to running out of time in the day and wanting feedback sooner.",enhancement,new,lowest,Awaiting Review,Plugins,,minor,,,
