 It would be very useful if `content_url()` allowed an absolute path to be
 supplied just like `plugin_dir_url()` does. This would allow a script
 within a theme subdirectory to easily obtain the URL to that subdirectory,
 for example via `content_url(__DIR__)`, instead of having to add relative
 paths after `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()`. This would also allow code
 living somewhere else under `wp-content/` (not in plugins or themes) to
 likewise obtain its full URL.
