11605	wpdb::_weak_escape() is an alias to addslashes only	hakre	ryan	"esc_sql has been introduced for completeness (esc_* named functions; [11490]). time has showed that next to the function naming game (offering kind of an API without an API definition) nothing more has evolved since then. so it's a fact that it does not properly escape SQL, it's just an alias (one with many lines of code for such a thing) for addslashes with it's meaning to add slashes.

the code can better reflect that with a simple change."	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Database	2.9	normal	wontfix	has-patch tested featured
