Sanitize input string as multi-line text, no HTML tags, and no specific max length (unless given)
This is the same as the textarea() sanitizer but does not impose a maximum character length (or
byte length) unless given one in the $maxLength argument. This is useful in cases where the
textarea sanitizer’s built in 16kb character max length (64kb max bytes) is not enough, or when you
want to specify a max length as part of the method arguments.
Please note that like with the textarea sanitizer, the max length refers to a maximum number of
characters, not bytes. The maxBytes is automatically set to the maxLength * 4, or can be
specifically set via the maxBytes option.
Available since version 3.0.157.
