PHP7 is deprecating PHP4 style constructors, so we need to modify our code to have _construct methods that fire before the named PHP4 style constructors. The PHP4 style constructors will call the PHP5 style constructor in case it is being called directly (usually via parent::METHOD).
This modifies external libraries to add PHP5 style constructors, but doesn't add a notice for when they are used. In WordPress core code, PHP4 style constructors are being given a call to _deprecated_constructor. To the PHP4 style constructor I say "I know that I can't take no more | It ain't no lie | I wanna see you out that door | Baby, bye, bye, bye..."

Plugins can use `pre_option_widget_{$id_base}` filters to return `ArrayIterator`/`ArrayObject` instances instead of primitive arrays. This makes possible for widget instance data to be drawn from somewhere else than `wp_options`, such as a custom post type.
Add unit tests for widgets.

* If we just tell them they they should set an `id` parameter, they might set an arbitrary one on an existing (i.e. not in-development) theme, causing widgets to be lost.
* This way, we tell them to set it to the auto-generated `id` that the sidebar already has.
* Widget content is not lost, and now their sidebar has a concrete handle.

* Use a placeholder for the theme name to be able to reorder words.
* Uppercase D for "Theme Details" to match existing strings.
* Merge two revision date formats.
* Add translator comment to strings with placeholders.

In PHP 5.3.0, `is_a()` is no longer deprecated, and will therefore no longer throw `E_STRICT` warnings.
To avoid warnings in PHP < 5.3.0, convert all `is_a()` calls to `$var instanceof WP_Class` calls.
`instanceof` does not throw any error if the variable being tested is not an object, it simply returns `false`.

Per our inline documentation standards, no further use of the `@uses` tag is recommended as used and used-by relationships can be derived through other means. This removes most uses of the tag in core documentation, with remaining tags to be converted to `@global` or `@see` as they apply.

With the Widget Customizer it's possible that previewed widgets can leak data outside of Customizer, when the widget uses the cache API.
The Customizer calls the regular update callback which should already refresh the cache. Since cache additions aren't blocked yet the cache can be filled with preview data.
To prevent this issue `WP_Widget::is_preview()` will return true, when `$wp_customize->is_preview()` returns true. If `is_preview()` is true, cache additions are suspended via `wp_suspend_cache_addition()`. Make sure your object cache drop-in has implemented `wp_suspend_cache_addition()`.
`is_preview()` can/should also be used inside `WP_Widget::widget()`, see WP_Widget_Recent_Posts or WP_Widget_Recent_Comments for examples.

Mark arguments as required in _future_post_hook(), the walker method display_element(), get_author_link() (deprecated), and the WP_Widget constructor.

The exceptions to this are update_post_meta() and add_post_meta() which are often used by plugins in POST handlers and will continue accepting slashed data for now.
Introduce wp_upate_post_meta() and wp_add_post_meta() as unslashed alternatives to update_post_meta() and add_post_meta(). These functions could become methods in WP_Post so don't use them too heavily yet.
Remove all escape() calls from wp_xmlrpc_server. Now that core expects unslashed data this is no longer needed.
Remove addslashes(), addslashes_gpc(), add_magic_quotes() calls on data being prepared for handoff to core functions that until now expected slashed data. Adding slashes in no longer necessary.
Introduce wp_unslash() and use to it remove slashes from GPCS data before using it in core API. Almost every instance of stripslashes() in core should now be wp_unslash(). In the future (a release or three) when GPCS is no longer slashed, wp_unslash() will stop stripping slashes and simply return what is passed. At this point wp_unslash() calls can be removed from core.
Introduce wp_slash() for slashing GPCS data. This will also turn into a noop once GPCS is no longer slashed. wp_slash() should almost never be used. It is mainly of use in unit tests.
Plugins should use wp_unslash() on data being passed to core API.
Plugins should no longer slash data being passed to core. So when you get_post() and then wp_insert_post() the post data from get_post() no longer needs addslashes(). Most plugins were not bothering with this. They will magically start doing the right thing. Unfortunately, those few souls who did it properly will now have to avoid calling addslashes() for 3.6 and newer.
Use wp_kses_post() and wp_kses_data(), which expect unslashed data, instead of wp_filter_post_kses() and wp_filter_kses(), which expect slashed data. Filters are no longer passed slashed data.
Remove many no longer necessary calls to $wpdb->escape() and esc_sql().
In wp_get_referer() and wp_get_original_referer(), return unslashed data.
Remove old stripslashes() calls from WP_Widget::update() handlers. These haven't been necessary since WP_Widget.
Switch several queries over to prepare().
Expect something to break.
