Were there actually any real-world use-cases affected by this? Do any of them not deserve to be named and shamed irregardless of this vulnerability?

If it was up to me, I would nuke the cmd custom implementation, leave some helpful compile error messages behind, and direct users to some 3rd party crates to choose from.

What custom implementation? The escaping logic?

Doing such a regression on a Tier 1 target would be a really big blow to the language's reputation imo
