 Although one can easily extract the page or post's slug from
 $post_data['post_name'], this seems to be one of the only important bits
 of data for which no template tag has been created.

 The slug is often used, for example, when creating specific classes or
 id's within HTML elements. Presumably the other template tags were all
 created for convenience and to simplify template creation. Not including
 the_slug() in the template tags seems to be an oversight, easily
 corrected.
