we don't skip what looks like already escaped strings, that was fixed
ages ago

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
This function will convert the given input string to an URL encoded string and
return that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z,
-A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped" version. If a sequence of
-%NN (where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number) is found in the string to
-encode, that 3-letter combination will be copied to the output unmodifed,
-assuming that it is an already encoded piece of data.
+A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN where NN is a
+two-digit hexadecimal number).
If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use strlen() on the
input 'url' string to find out the size.
