Hi ! I wonder how to escape a string in phobos ?
For example

auto a = [ "fooo\nbar" ];
auto b = format("%(%s%)", a);

gives b: "fooo\nbar"

Is there any other function to escape string? I'm looking for something that doesn't require to make an array at first.

For example is there string escape(string s) in phobos ? I've searched and have not found it.

Escaping is done based on what the reserved characters are. What are you going to be using it for?

Sorry, i meant it gives b == "fooo\\nbar"
I'm writing an interpreter and it should dump original string from memory.
Also i wonder if there's a function to convert "aaa\\nbb" to "aaa\nbb" (i.e. to unescape)
