Comment (by r-a-y):

 Thanks for the patches, haykayltduk.

 I haven't tested the patches yet, but some quick thoughts:

 * The new function should be in bp-core-functions.php because we could
 potentially use the placeholder in other form contexts (like the settings
 component, 3rd-party plugins, etc.).
 * For patch 0002, any reason why we can't apply `esc_html()` directly in
 the new function?
 * For patch 0003, why isn't the new function used in line 763 of bp-
 xprofile-classes.php?
