Comment (by atagar):

 > If you want to change the escaping for #8405, I don't expect it will
 affect TBB. We're not using any special characters for SOCKS
 username/password.

 Ah, good to hear - thanks arthuredelstein!

 > I looked the other night and couldn't find a function that actually
 encodes in QuotedString format in our code. That doesn't mean there
 couldn't be one, but hey

 Huh. So options seem to either be to make tor conformant with its spec or
 continue to mis-escape output. There's also an option 'c' of change the
 spec specify esc_for_log but I really don't like that option (makes life
 ickier for controllers, and feels like it's specifying a bug).
