title: Why wp_update_post strip slashes?
body: <p>I'm trying to update the post_content:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php 
  $something = '&lt;a class=\"class_name\" href=\"#\"&gt;';
  $my_post = array(
        'ID'           =&gt; 1,
        'post_content' =&gt; $something,
    );
    wp_update_post( $my_post );
  ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Could anyone tell me why this always strips slashes from the $something? 
  What can I do to avoid this situation and update it just as it's in $something?</p>
