Comment (by ryan):

 That gets a start on introducing and using two new slash functions. Any
 stripslashes() or stripslashes_deep() call on GPC data should be converted
 to wp_unslash(). If a function makes lots of strip calls on $_POST data,
 consider adding $post_data = wp_unslash( $_POST ) at the top of the
 function. This does have the drawback that once wp_unslash() no longer
 unslashes the $post_data assignment will be pointless. It's a matter of
 style whether we want to add wp_unslash() calls for each use of $_POST in
 a function or change $_POST to $post_data everywhere in the function.
