Comment:

 Slight issue with this: #10953

 Some other thoughts: This would be better accepting an absolute
 directory..

 My reasoning is that plugins are not always relative to the
 WP_CONTENT_DIR, which really limits its usage for that.. It means that for
 100% compatibility, Plugins are going to have to work out a relative link
 dynamically.. You cant just go hard-coding 'plugins/my-plugin-name/my-
 theme'.. It changes.. Passing however, dirname(__FILE__).'/my-theme' would
 work if it was a absolute path required.

 I'm reopening this for feedback on the latter issue..
