+1. makes it easier to reuse the output of functions. The print

The patch is very simple but opens a lot of possibilites. Like you can
put the output of any Drupal function into a block. Another step
towards multi region pages.


This patch does not even break backwards compatibility: if you do not
want to print anything or want to handle your output, fine, return
nothing from the callback as you do now. However, you do not need to
write print theme('page', ...); anymore, just return it, Drupal will
theme it for you.


I'm posting two patches. The first is the very simple, functional one.


The second, however is just the result of a preg change.

here comes the dull megapatch. Note: contact.module had a bug, it called
theme_page with two parameters.

I'm gonna put a definate +1 for this.


Even just for consistency sake, it's a wonderful patch.
