 Currently, you can call `get_attached_file()` and get the path to the
 full-sized version of the image.

 However, if you want the path to a smaller variant of the image, you end
 up with something like this:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $imagedata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $image_id );
 $file_path = get_attached_file( $image_id );
 $thumbnail_file = str_replace( wp_basename( $file_path ),
 $imagedata['sizes'][ $size ]['file'], $file_path );
 }}}

 Or like this:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $imagedata = image_get_intermediate_size( $image_id, $size );
 $upload_directory = wp_get_upload_dir();
 $thumbnail_file = $upload_directory['basedir'] . '/' . $imagedata['path'];
 }}}

 For brevity, these examples omit the null dereference checks, which triple
 the size of the code needed.

 This is similar to the behaviour of `wp_get_attachment_thumb_file()`, but
 that function hard-codes `thumb` as the only size.

 It would be very helpful if this existed:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 get_attached_file( int $attachment_id, bool $unfiltered = false, string
 $size = false )
 }}}

 Or this existed:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 wp_get_attachment_thumb_file( int $post_id, string $size = false )
 }}}

 See related tickets #33959 (from 2015) and #17262 (from 2011).

 I'm happy to make a patch for either/both of these approaches, but don't
 know which one you prefer, and don't want this to languish for 11 years.
