Comment:

 Hi Nick. Sorry about re-opening this old ticket but while looking at #8471
 I realized that
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/commitdiff/9716716527fc5e8047b57f14870afbb3c864a197
 9716716] doesn't match
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/HEAD:/src/common/util.c#l1091
 esc_for_log]. Presently
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/blob/HEAD:/stem/response/__init__.py#l55
 stem escapes the characters] mentioned by esc_for_log.

 Two questions:

 1. Should QuotedString also mention that single quotes, tabs, etc are
 escaped?
 2. rransom mentioned that tor only does escaping in a few specific places,
 are you sure that it's appropriate to say that all QuotedStrings are
 escaped?
