 '''update_post_meta''' with a new meta_key forwards the call to
 '''update_metadata''' and then it gets forwarded to '''add_metadata'''.

 Funny thing is that both functions '''stripslashes_deep()''' the
 meta_value so I kind of remain slash-less in the process.


 {{{
 update_post_meta(1, 'new_meta_key', "x\\\\y"); // Adds 'xy' instead of
 'x\y'
 }}}


 Am I missing something? This internal slashes abuse scares me. I can't
 come up with a fix because this slashes fetish is beyond me.

 Thanks.
