> I think StringEscapeUtils needs a strong rewrite. For each escape method (and
> unescape) there tend to be three or four types of escaping happening. So not
> being able to define which set of three or four apply is a pain point (and
> cause of bug reports due to different desired features).
> We should be offering basic functionality, but also allowing people to say
> "escape(Escapers.BASIC_XML, Escapers.LOW_UNICODE, Escapers.HIGH_UNICODE)".
> Also should delete escapeSql; it's a bad one imo. Dangerous in that it will
> lead people to not use PreparedStatement and given it only escapes ', it's
> not much use. Especially as different dialects escape that in different ways.
> Opening this ticket for discussion.
