Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 Replying to [comment:3 flixos90]:
 > The issue I have is more about conventions than functionality. The
 change you proposed in #34245 will indeed allow to get the taxonomy for a
 term ID with a single function, so that covers the functionality aspect.
 But wouldn't it be straightforward to structure the function names of term
 functions in the same way like their post equivalents?

 I understand what you're asking for. The primary issue is that
 `get_taxonomy()` has been around for a ''long'' time, and has default
 expected behavior we can't change – back-compat rules there.

 Even if we added a `$term` parameter to add an additional return type (the
 taxonomy name), you'd still have to pass a `$taxonomy` value to it. I
 recognize what you're trying to do, but whatever solution we come up with,
 it's probably not going to be called `get_taxonomy()`.

 Best bet is something like `get_taxonomy_name()`, which would likely just
 be a wrapper for `get_term_field( 'taxonomy', $term )` in the end, which
 is partially why I opened #34245.
