Comment (by redsweater):

 Ah, good point. So I guess wp.login() would be more appropriate for the
 name? I think this should probably come down to a discussion of whether
 WordPress core developers are comfortable with the API providing any
 affordances at all for helping clients to gain full login permissions.

 Personally I am for it from the point of view that because the API and the
 web interface both use the same credentials, absence of full login
 permissions is only protected by obfuscation of the login URL, and the
 challenge presented to developers of simulating a web-based login
 procedure.
