Comment:

 In [attachment:21995.7.diff]:

 * Simplify function parameters, taking inspiration from `the_title()`.
 * Remove redundant "archives" from translation strings.
 * Split archive_title in a returning "get_" and a displaying `the_`.
 * Add `the_archive_description()` as an echoing pendant to
 `term_description()`.
 * Adds post format support.

 There are two filters in this proposal, `get_archive_title` and
 `the_archive_description`. We could add a `the_archive_title` filter for
 similarity to the description function, but it would just filter the value
 of `get_archive_title`.

 The `span` wrappers were introduced in Twenty Eleven and then copied by a
 lot of other themes. They are hardly ever used, by far not by a majority,
 so I think we shouldn't add that complexity.

 Twenty Fifteen would benefit a great deal from this patch (#29799).
