 Replying to [comment:9 bforchhammer]:

 That does make the most sense, since it's parallel with plugin_basename.

 However, what's the point of this function if it's not used by core?
 Plugins can be placed directly in the plugins directory or in a sub-
 directory, so plugin_basename helps the plugin determine which.

 In contrast, themes ''must'' be in their own sub-directory of themes.  So
 if a theme wants its current directory name, it can get it much more
 efficiently with {{{basename(dirname(__FILE__))}}}
