Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 I am +1, at least to: `esc_html_ex( 'Word', 'context', 'domain' );`.

 It is an obvious improvement over: `echo esc_html_x( 'Word', 'context',
 'domain' );`, while also being less confusing to any developer using
 modern autocomplete tools, who will wonder why `_ex()` exists and the
 escaping equivalent does not.

 For that reason, I personally think having full coverage of escaped
 variants is ideal, and find the lack of an escaped `_ex()` the most
 problematic on a regular basis.
