Comment (by swissspidy):

 What is the advantage of `plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ , 'assets/test.png' )`
 over simply using `plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'assets/test.png' )`? I
 don't really see a benefit of using a second param for that when you can
 simply concatenate the strings on your own. Developers would probably not
 use it because of back compat. Also, `plugin_dir_path()` says it returns
 the path to a ''directory'', not a file.
