Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Status update:  I'm hoping to get this patch on the 4.0 milestone ASAP.
 It needs to be early.

 miqro-10041.2.patch has these main features:

 in wp-includes/formatting.php correct the escaping function, rename it to
 esc_like(), and add documentation of appropriate usage.

 in wp-includes/deprecated.php make a new home for the old like_escape().

 add tests/formatting/EscLike.php with real $wpdb tests instead of
 ambiguous I/O strings.

 delete tests/formatting/LikeEscape.php

 All other files involved have calls to $wpdb that were not correct before
 the patch.
