Not quite.  I may have a too low-level point of view, but they are the
same operations, they are just not used for the same purpose.

However, this patch has been somewhat reviewed and approved (though
containing an infinite loop ;-)), so it may be something made on
purpose.

Well, I'm not so sure.  Their purpose is to escape characters in a way
we don't want to duplicate too much.  The «problem» you're pointing out
is the reason why I made the escaping function take the set of
characters to escape in a first place.

What would you do?
