Comment (by JakePT):

 Couple of things I'd like to see addressed.
 1. Path versions of these functions. I've found including SVG contents
 into a design better this way, since it's the server requesting them, so
 you can run into issues with hosts file shenanigans if you use a URI.
 2. Would having theme_file_uri() and get_theme_file_uri() as functions be
 a good idea? Seems common with other functions, and get_ seems to be the
 standard when a function returns a value.

 I'm imagining something like:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 get_theme_file_path();
 get_theme_file_uri();
 theme_file_uri();
 }}}
 (I'm not sure you'd ever need to echo the file path?)
