/* Simple escape/unescape functions.
 *
 * The design goal of these functions are:
 *
 * - Avoid unnecessary work.
 *
 * In most cases the strings passed in do not need to be escaped at all. In
 * these cases the original string will be returned.
 *
 * - Lowest possible memory footprint.
 *
 * The amount of memory allocated for a given encoding is calculated based
 * on the exact amount of memory needed, and not the theoretical worst case
 * scenario.
