Comment(by scribu):

 On the other hand, while I agree that:

 `get_term_link( 'Term Name', 'taxname', 'name' )`

 looks better than:

 `get_term_link( get_term_by( 'name', 'Term Name', 'taxname' ), 'taxname'
 )`

 , it's just an implementation detail. get_term_link() shouldn't be
 concerned with retrieving the correct term.

 To avoid passing the taxonomy over and over again, it would be nice if you
 could do something like this instead:

 `get_term_by( 'name', 'Term Name', 'taxname' )->get_link()`
