0.3 - _get_depth(), _is_child(), is_grandchild() functions created

Every extra template tag with this plugin has an underscore before the function name. That is to prevent collisions if the WordPress team develop the functions in the future.
If you have an own extra template tag, send it to me and if it is a good one I will include it…
