Roadmap to add taxonomy support to module [#1916380]

Right now there is 3 issues that try to solve Taxonomy Term handling.

Name	Works?	How/Adds	Hierarchy Support?	Get()	Set()
#1916168: Taxonomy Term Weight & Hierarchy support submodule	Works	new submodule	Yes	Queries data	calls taxonomy_term_load() & taxonomy_term_save($term)
#1716912: Add a taxonomy term weight handler	Works	adds handler file	No	Grabs from View	alls taxonomy_term_load() & taxonomy_term_save($term)
#1851752: Drag handler for saving weight into any column in any base table	Works	adds handler file	No	Grabs from the Views row	entity_metadata_wrapper() & $entity_wrapper->save()

I would like to go with #1851752: Drag handler for saving weight into any column in any base table. Though I do not fully understand it, I like that it using the entity wrapper. If we change FieldAPI handler to use entity_metadata_wrapper, then we might not need a separate Taxonomy Term handler.

+1 for the new module approach, not necessarily because it's the best way to do this (I personally don't feel we need the new module to add 2 extra handlers for a core module). That said, that patch is the only one that does in fact correctly support term hierarchies.

Good work, thanks!
