Automatic stripslashes() of everything retrieved from database?

[eluser]Jakobud[/eluser]
When using the ActiveRecord database classes, the data (by default) is automatically escaped using the XSS-Clean stuff. So naturally there can end up being a lot of data in the database that is escaped with backslashes.

Is there anyway to automatically strip the slashes of all the data retrieved from the database in my models?

I can obviously just use stripslashes() on the data when I use/echo it in my views, but it would be nice not have have to stripslashes() for every single bit of data... I figured maybe there is an easy way for CI to do it for you when you are retrieving the data? Any clues?
