I use Perl, which (through DBD::Pg) has a "quote" function available,
but I think this is a very good idea to include in the library.
I only have one issue - the SQL standard seems to support the use
of '' to escape a single quote, but not \'. Though PostgreSQL has
an extended notion of character string literals, I think that the
usual policy of using the standard interface when possible should
apply.
