So far everything has been a bit hazy for me, but this is starting to 
come across. The idea of filtering content based on context is nigh 
impossible.

The big assumption here is that there are only two types of display. 
_main and _meta - this, however, is very much not the case. In my site I 
have several different instances in which I use the excerpt of a most 
for different things. To put it in context, I have _main, _summary, and 
_single.

I don't think that could be accounted for.

However, as to WordPress's reliance on globals, we're in the same boat 
-- more object passing, less confusion, more reliabilty.
