[wp-testers] 2.3 Beta 1 changes semantics of get_the_title

Hey folks,

  The get_the_title function is now filtered, whereas in the past
(through all the versions back to 2.0; I haven't checked earlier) it was
not. This is a breaking change, since (among other things) filtering
causes escaped titles to be returned, whereas before unescaped titles
were returned before. While this makes get_the_title consistent with
other get_the_* APIs, IMHO changing a public API like this is a Bad Thing
(doubly so, since none of the APIs have solid documentation, making
it impossible to tell whether one is using an API properly to begin
with).


Any other thoughts on this?
