#10767: stripslashes_deep does not gracefully handle objects

     Type:  defect (bug)  |      Status:  new              
 Priority:  normal        |   Milestone:  Unassigned       
Component:  General       |     Version:  2.8.4            
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  stripslashes_deep
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The stripslashes_deep() function  in formatting.php will throw a catchable
 fatal error if it encounters an object. This is because the function
 always call stripslashes() on the given argument unless the argument is an
 array. However, if you pass an array to stripslashes_deep(), and one of
 the elements of the array is an object, it will throw the fatal error.

 I realize that this function is not normally called on object values,
 however I have had this problem when stripslashes_deep is called on the
 result of a get_comment($id, ARRAY_A) call. This is because that call to
 get_comment returns an array that, depending on if the wp cache is used to
 return a comment object that's already been retrieved and perhaps has
 additional object data embedded in the array, might have object data in
 it.
