Comment(by nacin):

 It's kind of confusing, yeah. esc_url_raw() used to be sanitize_url()
 which was deprecated. clean_url() wasn't deprecated in favor of esc_url()
 because both esc_url_raw() and esc_url() use it.

 We could merge clean_url() into esc_url(), giving the latter the
 additional $context property and have esc_url_raw() call esc_url()
 instead, that way we get rid of the alias.

 Though it doesn't make much of a difference, the less validation and
 sanitization functions we have, the less confused plugin authors are, and
 the more secure the code they write will be.

 I'll check this in later.
