Comment (by ryan):

 I think some better API would help eliminate having to apply filters by
 hand everywhere.

 First, let's move the bloginfo filter into get_bloginfo.

 Add a 'the' context to sanitize_term() and sanitize_term_field().  'the'
 will trigger the_term_$field and the_$taxonomy_$field filters in addition
 to the existing term_$field and $taxonomy_$field filters.  We'll need to
 map the_$taxonomy_name to the_$taxonomy for back compat.

 Add a filter argument to get_term().  If filter is specified, get_term()
 will use it to sanitize_term.  The cache should store only unfiltered
 terms, so filtering should be done after the cache add.

 Add a filter option to get_terms().  If a filter is specified, get_terms()
 will run sanitize_term() against each fetched term object.

 Do the same for posts and other objects.  Create sanitize_post() and
 sanitize_post_field() and add a filter argument to get_post().

 In those places where we have to filter a field by hand, use
 sanitize_term_field(), sanitize_post_field(), etc. to trigger the filters
 instead of calling apply_filters directly.

 Thoughts?
