Description

While documenting the hooks in formatting.php (#25518) I noticed format_to_post which is unused except for 25 or so plugins in the repo. The description is generic, and useless.

WAY back in the day it seems it was used to add slashes before stuff got put into the database.

After asking around, I think we should deprecate it.

Can't set the version low enough, should be 0.71, so went as low as I could. :)

  • Keywords 3.9-early removed
  • Milestone changed from Future Release to 3.9

I think it's safe to just kill the hook while we're at it. (Or not bother documenting it?)

I found the function definition from a ways back. Here's it being changed at one point: [1021]. Scary stuff, right there.
