Comment:

 I'd argue this ticket has more to do with making:

 - `wp_slash(wp_unslash($data))` and
 - `wp_unslash(wp_slash($data))`

 work properly, meaning returning `$data` in each case irrespective of
 whether it's a scalar, a string, an array, an object, or a combination of
 the latter.

 #18322 is more about a long term thing which, frankly, I don't expect to
 see fixed any time soon.
