All functions below that take one argument have a "($)" prototype, so they have the same precedence as
"closedir" and "delete".
escape $string, $chars_to_escape
This escapes any characters in $string that occur in $chars_to_escape, which is interpreted as a
regular expression. The regexp must consume just one character; otherwise you'll find chars missing
from the output. ASCII vertical whitespace (except the vertical tab) is always escaped.
Printable non-alphanumeric ASCII characters and the space character are escaped with a single
backslash. Other characters are encoded in hexadecimal.
"escape" also considers that you might want to include the escaped string in a larger string, so it
appends a space if the escaped string ends with a hexadecimal escape with fewer than six digits.
unescape $string
This turns something like \"H\65llo\" into "Hello" (including quotes).
escape_ident $string
escape_ident $string, $more_chars_to_escape
This escapes $string as a CSS identifier, escaping also any characters matched by
$more_chars_to_escape.
unescape_url $url_token
Returns the URL that the token represents.
escape_str $string
Returns a CSS string token containing $string (within quotes; characters possibly escaped).
unescape_str $string_token
Returns the value that a CSS string token represents.
