 Though eliminating a straight alias doesn't make much of a difference, the
 less validation and sanitization functions we have, the less confused
 plugin authors are, which hopefully means they try to write more secure
 the code.

 We should merge clean_url() into esc_url(), giving esc_url() a $_context
 argument. esc_url_raw() can then call esc_url() with a $_context of 'db'.
