 Would it be possible to implement a function that returns the active XML
 sitemap location? With so many major plugins choosing to disable the WP
 core sitemap to continue using their own, it is difficult for others to
 easily know which is actually being used– especially if those plugins have
 the option of disabling their sitemap functionality (which means we can't
 simply detect if the plugin is active to know).

 Notable sitemap locations:
 - **WordPress Core:** wp-sitemap.xml
 - **Yoast SEO:** sitemap_index.xml
 - **The SEO Framework:** sitemap.xml

 Perhaps the function can be as simple as applying a filter inside that
 plugins can hook into to modify the location? Something like the
 following:

 {{{
 function get_sitemap_uri(){
         return (string) apply_filters('sitemap_uri', home_url('/') . 'wp-
 sitemap.xml');
 }
 }}}
