internal/strings/escaping.h

// This is a grab-bag file for string utilities involved in escaping and
// unescaping strings in various ways. Who knew there were so many?
//
// There are more escaping functions in:
//   webutil/html/tagutils.h (Escaping strings for HTML, PRE, JavaScript, etc.)
//   webutil/url/url.h (Escaping for URL's, both RFC-2396 and other methods)
//   template/template_modifiers.h (All sorts of stuff)
//   util/regexp/re2/re2.h (Escaping for literals within regular expressions
//                         - see RE2::QuoteMeta).
// And probably many more places, as well.
