Comment:

 This missed the ticket:

 (In [16431]) esc_textarea() and application for obvious textarea escaping.
 props alexkingorg. fixes #15454

 No, esc_html() isn't proper here, because we need to double-encode. The
 best function we had for it was wp_htmledit_pre(), or a direct
 htmlspecialchars() call.
