Problem/Motivation
Conceptually, the discovery of templates is part of the Theme Registry. At the moment, the discovery (drupal_find_theme_templates()) is still in theme.inc and portions of them call the Theme Registry service.
The practical implication is that extending/modifying template discovery is much harder with these procedural functions.
Proposed resolution
- Create methods on the theme registry service for finding theme templates and theme functions.
- Have the procedural functions to nothing more than wrap the service.
