 Replying to [comment:10 azaozz]:
 > so it's not impossible to determine if a string has been run through
 `addslashes()`, just hard to do.

 It's pretty much impossible. You can definitively say that something is
 *not* slashed, but if it is slashed, you don't know whether it was
 manually slashed, or if the data itself was already slashed.
