I think it looks like a handy utility function -- we have quite a few
instances of
(file-name-directory (directory-file-name filename))
(possibly with an expand-file-name in there, too) and using
`file-parent-directory' would both express the intention of the code
better, and be less error prone (because many people forget the
`directory-file-name' in the first attempt).
