I know. Legacy reasons there.

But the bottom line is that adding escaping to home_url *will break
existing things*. Quite a lot of them, in fact. So it ain't going to
happen. Just saying.

Getting a new function created to do what you think it should do is a
better approach to take. But even then it's an uphill road.
