Comment (by DJPaul):

 Sorry Boone, I don't understand. I am only suggesting we override the
 `$handle` for the `wp_enqueue_script()` call. I am not saying we should
 change in any way the existing process of locating where the file is
 actually on the hard drive, only its `$handle`.

 For example:
 BP finds `password-script.js` in the child theme, its handle becomes
 `password-script`.
 BP finds `password-script.js` in the theme compat. folder, its handle is
 still `password-script`.

 If I wanted to de-queue that file on a custom site, I'd
 `wp_dequeue_script( 'password-script' )` and I know it would always work,
 regardless of where the actual file is located in the site's files.
