Comment (by flixos90):

 [attachment:40180.3.diff] implements a more straightforward version of
 `get_site_by()`, where it only accepts a single parameter (as mentioned in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40180#comment:18). With this kind
 of functionality, it actually works similar like `get_term_by()`, thus the
 name now makes sense.

 The idea is that the new `url` field is a combination of domain and path
 and thus covers that use-case in a simple way. Unit tests for the function
 are included.

 I like this approach far better, and it clears up the naming issues we
 discussed on Tuesday. Furthermore `get_site_by( 'url', 'mysite.com/foo/'
 )` is simpler than `get_site_by( array( 'domain' => 'mysite.com', 'path'
 => '/foo/' ) )`.
