Comment (by dd32):

 For a single-site install, this would be incorrect:

 The Site URL is supposed to be the location of the actual files, the Home
 URL is supposed to be the rewritten front-end (ie. site:
 dd32.id.au/wordpress home: dd32.id.au)

 Having `includes_url()` use `home_url()` on the front-end would be
 incorrect in that case.

 Personally this feels like it's plugin territory, site_url/home_url should
 be accessible, and admin_url/site_url should be rewritten with a plugin to
 the secret location on the fly for the admin requests.
