Comment (by westonruter):

 In [changeset:"61590" 61590]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61590"
 Formatting: Deprecate the `addslashes_gpc()` function.

 This deprecates `addslashes_gpc()` in favor of `wp_slash()`, as the former
 is just a wrapper for the latter. The three remaining uses of
 `addslashes_gpc()` (in `WP_Query`) have been replaced with `wp_slash()`.
 Unit tests are added to verify that they have the same behavior.

 Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10771

 Follow-up to [23591], [23555].

 Props rutviksavsani, audrasjb, westonruter, mindctrl, johnbillion.
 See #21767.
 Fixes #64539.
