 it smooths out the processing?

 > '''Yes''', given that you are passing in both a post-processed value and
 a pre-processed value a `'plugin_basename'` would definitely be more
 generally useful and also still meet the need stated on [#comment:52
 comment 52] of this thread.

 **UPDATE**: '''''Except''''', the hook would have to duplicate the logic
 in lines 567-574 in
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/16953/16953.2.diff
 16953.2.diff​] when changing the path, so when the goal is to meet the
 need stated on [#comment:52 comment 52] a `'pre_plugin_basename'` would be
 a better choice because it would limit the potential for error on the part
 of the plugin author.
