Comment (by jorbin):

 What happens when a plugin adds a method that returns unescaped data and
 handles the escaping later and later core adds a method with the same name
 where it is returned escaped?  A 2nd plugin using that method could
 introduce a security vulnerability since it assumes the data is escaped by
 core.
