Comment (by lopo):

 Any news on this?
 I've stumbled on it when trying to fix compatibility issue between my
 plugin (Duplicate Post) and some visual editors that store objects in
 metadata: if I call wp_slash on the original post's custom fields before
 storing them into the copy they become unusable.

 The patch seems to work fine. What's needed for that to make it into the
 core? Can I help in any way?
