I am normaly not a big friend of speculation because of little bits of information but i found something interesting. In the "Ecology of the Genasi" Article there are Sha'irs mentioned in the History part.

Does that mean that Sha'ir are at least official parts of the fluff ? Hint to a Elemental Class ?

Hopefully its a hint at a Class, either Elemental or Primal.

Wouldn't it be more at home in a Player's Guide to a campaign setting? If I remember, the Sha'ir was from Al Qadim, and it had to do with asking djinn to go steal spells for you, right?

Pretty much, but the concept is universal enough for it to become a base class.
Oooh, maybe we'll have elemental servants as implements!

That, or a controller version of the shaman.

Edited for grammar.

I only know it from the 3.5 Dragon update, but it does sound like it could be Elemental or Primal.

I could see it as very much being an elemental class.

Sha'irs were awesome. I still have the Sha'irs Handbook.
