Bug description:  stripslashes() removes slashes not added by addslashes()

Description:
------------
stripslashes() removes slashes not added by addslashes()

I expect a function to do what is described in the first line of its
documentation. As published in this site "un-quotes strings quoted with
addslashes()"

It is water clear this functions isn't working as expected. As it
shouldn't remove any slash that addslashes() wouldn't add. In example, a
slash before a space won't be added by addslashes() and mustn't be removed
by stripslashes()

You can refuse to correct the code. In that case, which I consider most
useless, you ought to correct the documentation.

I ask myself won't be useful a function which undoes what addslashes()
does?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$str = "the first \ should stay. it\'s the  \"right\" case";
$str = stripslashes($str);
var_dump($str);
?> 

Expected result:
----------------
"the first \ should stay. it's the  "right" case"

Actual result:
--------------
"the first  should stay. it's the  "right" case"
