 > The problem wasn't just with usage.  The docs actually said
 like_escape() was SQL safe even though it was not.  So we have to
 anticipate that message resulted in the function being used in many
 strange ways in plugins.
 You're probably right. We audited usages in BuddyPress last year, and
 wrote tests for them, which then all broke when `like_escape()` was
 deprecated. :)
