Comment:

 [attachment:12235.diff] adds an easy-to-use function to get the caption
 for a specific attachment, `wp_get_attachment_caption()`. It furthermore
 adds functions to get the caption for the featured image of a post, using
 the new attachment caption function.

 This makes it easy to display the caption of the featured image in a theme
 if desired. While the caption shouldn't be part of the featured image
 function itself as it would be too specific, the functions added by this
 patch make it easy for a theme developer to include it.
