Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 Thanks everyone! Sorry for my scattered thoughts, i.e. more of a
 brainstorming session.

 I want to point out something.

 These functions (`_doing_it_wrong()`, `wp_trigger_error()`,
 `_deprecated_*()`) are developer and debugging tools. The message is not
 displayed anywhere unless `WP_DEBUG` is turned on. Thus, there should be
 no or little risk to users should a message contain something nefarious in
 it.

 As a tool, I think it's okay to not escape the message and document the
 incoming arguments should be clean.
