 Recent developments around plugins and themes misusing `add_query_arg()`
 and `remove_query_arg()` got me to thinking about how WordPress has a
 responsibility to make generating safe and reliable URLs as easy as
 possible.

 I'm proposing we introduce a new helper function that all URLs in core
 would be switched over to use, to lead by example and completely eliminate
 any margin for errors when it comes to the order of operations of
 manipulating URLs and outputting them to the browser.

 Patch imminent.
