Comment:

 In [changeset:"52921" 52921]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="52921"
 Taxonomy: Use `get_terms` instead of a database lookup in `term_exists()`.

 Replace raw SQL queries to the terms table, with a call to the `get_terms`
 function. Using `get_terms` means that `term_exists` is now cached. For
 developers using `term_exists` where cache invalidation is disabled, such
 as importing, a workaround was added to ensure that queries are uncached.

 Props Spacedmonkey, boonebgorges, flixos90, peterwilsoncc.
 Fixes #36949.
