Comment (by miqrogroove):

 Patch attached.

 Denis, thanks for the suggestions.  I decided to start with esc_like() for
 consistency, and IMO the name is not going to help or hurt developers.  I
 put some nice big doc blocks in there.  If that isn't clear enough, then
 we would need something more drastic than a new name.

 Also, I agree with your earlier comment that quotes are not special at the
 like layer.  We don't need addslashes().  It makes an already complicated
 situation that much worse.
