 I posted this over in the mu forums but realize it is pretty dead over
 there and may be better mentioned here:

 It would be a great help to easily get the current blog's id as in
 'current_blog_id()'. I searched the entire wordpress 3.0 and mu code and
 it is not mentioned anywhere.

 'get_current_blog()' might imply something more complex that returns all a
 blog's info, which would be nice too.

 But in the short term... 'current_blog_id()'?

 People are currently having to call global variables to use $wpdb,
 $current_site and/or $blog_id. I feel all of these are messy and pretty
 generic variables to be using within theme or plugin files.
