Comment (by scribu):

 Introducing new, unslashed versions of functions, like wp_add_post_meta()
 and wp_update_post_meta(), doesn't seem like a scalable approach.

 Also, plugins that correctly call add_magic_quotes() before using the API,
 such as wp_insert_term(), will get extra slashes in their content.
