 * What is the correct way of modifying / enhancing ‘custom headers’.
 * Simply put, I want to add some theme options that logically belong with ‘custom
   headers’. Obviously I can see wp-admin/custom-header.php, but is there a correct
   way of modifying this, without modifying core code.
 * And will this the way of a dealing with `add_custom_image_header()` change drastically
   when it moves to `add_theme_support( 'custom-header' )` in V3.4?

 * So exanding on this, and hoping for a little guidance….
 * would something like
 *     ```
       class my_Custom_Image_Header extends Custom_Image_Header {
       ... do things like set extra header option ....
       }
       ```
   
 * be moving in the right direction, or should I be looking at hooks relating to
   admin_???
