Comment (by scribu):

 As I've said previously, I don't really see the benefit of a $directory
 parameter, as implemented in this patch.

 What would be interesting if it were a boolean parameter, which, when set
 to true, would give "{$slug}/{$name}.php", instead of
 "{$slug}-{$name}.php".

 So, with {{{$dir = false}}}:

 {{{
 /theme/loop.php
 /theme/loop-category.php
 /theme/loop-default.php
 }}}

 and with {{{$dir = true}}}:

 {{{
 /theme/loop.php
 /theme/loop/category.php
 /theme/loop/default.php
 }}}

 This way, you actually increase the flexibility of get_template_part(),
 instead of merely adding another syntax for the same thing.
