Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:30 hellofromTonya]:
 > Hmm, `esc_html()` for the message being passed to `trigger_error()` is
 not the right approach.

 Maybe can just document it that the string is expected to be HTML escaped
 (or "safe")?

 > None of these functions have historically escaped their messages, and
 given this was never raised as a problem

 Sure, but the PHP manual warns otherwise :)
 Thinking that documenting that the function requires an escaped/HTML safe
 string would be enough?
