[wp-hackers] Call for thoughts on a new Settings/Options/Metadata API

[Funkatron]

I'm partial to the the OOP approach that the theme customizer uses.  It
creates the fields and automagically binds it to a particular option.
 Especially love the image and color fields it uses.  Would love something
like that for post meta and settings, with the option to create your own
fields if the ones provided in the core aren't adequate.
