Comment:

 It does seem odd that `wptexturize()`, `convert_chars()`, and
 `capital_P_dangit()` are all run on the title after the
 `document_title_parts` filter is applied in `wp_document_title()`.

 I'm not sure if we can adjust the order now that it's been there for a few
 years, but it looks like there's room for a `document_title` filter that
 is applied before `wp_document_title()` returns `$title`. We can then use
 the familiar pattern (`general-template.php`) to apply each of those in a
 way that can be unhooked.

 Because `wp_document_title()` is expected to return a string safe for use
 in `<title></title>`, `esc_html()` should probably be run after the
 `document_title` filter is applied.
