Changeset 28711 for trunk/src/wp-includes/deprecated.php

Message:

LIKE escape sanity:

• Deprecate like_escape()
• Add a method to $wpdb, ->esc_like(), and add unit tests

$wpdb::esc_like() is not used yet. As such, many unit tests will throw Unexpected deprecated notice for like_escape. Subsequent commits will alleviate this.

Props miqrogroove.
See #10041.
