Comment (by crrobi01):

 Suppose you deprecate is_home() in favor of is_posts_page() and add
 posts_page_url(). Now we have:

 is_front_page()
 is_posts_page()
 home_url();
 posts_page_url()

 I'm suggesting we rename home_url() to front_page_url() because home_url()
 doesn't point to the page that loads home.php when you have a static front
 page. It points to front-page.php

 Alternatively we could do:
 is_front_page()
 is_home()
 front_page_url()
 home_url()

 Which is more consistent because the posts page template is called
 home.php
 To do this create a function called front_page_url() which works how
 home_url() currently works and change the function of home_url() to how
 our proposed function posts_page_url() would work.
