 > I'm thinking like_escape() needs to be deprecated at this point.

 If you do, can I suggest naming the new function as `quote_like()` or
 `quote_like_sql()` rather than `esc_like()` or `esc_like_sql()`, to make
 it clearer that it's not actually escaping anything, but merely quoting
 LIKE special chars.
