 hierarchy** to address complex use-cases?

 IMO, more complex cases like this are best handled by the theme itself.
 There's nothing stopping you adding a `mytheme_get_template_part` that
 handles any sort of use cases you need, backed by `locate_template` in the
 same way that the normal `get_template_part` is. Introducing more
 complicated part hierarchy into core removes the flexibility of doing it
 yourself.
