Comment (by joemcgill):

 Replying to [comment:34 kdowns]:
 > With memoization and the proposed PR, there are cases when early calls
 to `get_stylesheet_directory()` will return as null.

 Good catch, @kdowns! I made a mistake in the initial PR and should have
 been returning `$template_dir` rather than returning `$wp_template_path`
 when `did_action( 'plugins_loaded' )` returns `false`. Either way, I think
 that [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/5644#issuecomment-1804789901 PR #5644] is probably the better
 approach here.
