Comment:

 In [changeset:"28733"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="28733"
 In `wp_insert_term()`, when no slug is provided, check for an existing
 term by name. If it exists, use that slug instead of calling
 `sanitize_title( $name )`.

 Prevents creating an endless number of terms like `A+` or `$$$$` in any
 given taxonomy.

 Props wonderboymusic, SergeyBiryukov, aaroncampbell.
 Fixes #17689.
