 Hi Anand,

 Great patch. Thanks for your contributions at the WordCamp London
 contributor day. A few tweaks are needed, and I've spoken to you about
 these in person, but for the record here:

 * Set up a "proper" dev environment so it's easier to test changes out :)
 * `wp_filter_kses( $_POST["placeholder_{$field->type}"] )` should use
 `sanitize_text_field()` and maybe `stripslashes()`.
 * Some minor code style improvements -- spacing, tabs, etc, but we can fix
 when we commit.
 * PHPDoc for new function- -- again, we can add when we commit if needed.

 Others: do we think we can get this into 1.9, or wait for 2.0?
