I'm with Klaus on this one.
I see the purpose of creating functions that eliminate repetitive
behaviour by using native PHP functions and doing a little something
extra with the results to suit your needs, but as for just using
asl($val) instead of addslashes($val), well why not just extend the PHP
source to make asl() an actual alias to addslashes()?
