Description

This is a tracking issue for the unstable str_escape feature in the standard library. The open questions I know of here are:

• Do we want to support these relatively arbitrary ways to escape strings? Note that these same methods for escaping characters are already stable.
• Are the precise forms of escaping stable? (probably because they delegate to char implementations)

I suspect that because the implementations on char are stable that we'll also stabilize these.

Signatures:

String::escape_debug(&self) -> String; String::escape_default(&self) -> String; String::escape_unicode(&self) -> String;
