Comment:

 I don't personally think this is needed myself.

 The whole premise of the need for it is not being able to trust the data
 you're outputting, which if it's not hard coded, sounds like it should be
 being sanitised rather than escaped. WordPress also trusts translations
 inherently, meaning you should fix a translation that contains rogue HTML
 rather than simply attempting to escape the bad translations.
