Comment (by DD32):

 > Well, since the constant is set in WP's core there's no chance of that.
 Reading the wp-config.php file is definitely required before plugins and
 themes can be loaded

 Sorry, It was late :/ I was thinking "URL's are in defines, Dir's are in
 functions"..

 By moving them after the plugins are loaded, i was refering to the default
 values, with the thought "If a user defines it manually, thats what they
 want full stop" in the back of my mind.

 > I suppose you mean content_url (since there's no content_dir function
 anywhere in the code base)? As I wrote, its content cannot be filtered

 Ah yeah.. I meant the content_url() and family, some plugins will use the
 constants, others will use the functions though, so be warned there..

 > that's what I meant by “not pluggable”).
 Sorry, "pluggable" means Function-replace, While "filtered" means having a
 filter available to me, thats probably what got me a bit confused.

 Adding a filter to the *_url() functions would be a good move IMO, but, as
 i said before, not all plugins use it, and a fair few are going to rely on
 the constants directly.
