 This [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/28683/28683.diff
 28683.diff] patch adds a `_doing_it_wrong()` call to the `strlength()`
 check. It still returns the error so the function signature is preserved.

 I'm not sure if this patch is the best approach, but it is one way to get
 the outcome I would like.

 Not that they've endorsed my proposal, but thanks to @dh-shredder,
 @drewapicture, and @maxcutler for some hand holding.
