Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Replying to [comment:11 SergeyBiryukov]:
 > This sounds similar to how
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_front_page
 is_front_page()] works, so I'd suggest `get_front_page_url()` and
 `front_page_url()` for consistency.

 `is_front_page()` and `is_home()` are only two poorly-named parts of the
 equation.

 * Getting the front-page URL is easy; it's always the root of the site
 domain + path. This can be done quite easily virtually anywhere
 (`wp_options`, `wp_blogs`, `wp_site`, `wp_bp_blogs` for buddypress.) We
 have helper functions to tell us whether or not there are posts at this
 root location, but no function to return the URL if they are not.
 * Getting the blog-index URL is less-easy, requiring something akin to the
 attached patch. Once the post index is changed from the root/front/home,
 it could reside almost anywhere. The attached patch attempts to shed light
 on where that might be, from outside the context of the current
 blog/site/network.
