Random programmer here, but I really can't agree with silently converting
them.  The less automagic foo that acts as a safety net, the better.  Or do
we need to revisit gpc_magic_quotes?  This theoretically shouldn't happen on
live code if it was tested at least once.  But I am all for smart error
messages and single quotes.  It will bite everyone at least once, and then
they will learn.
