  I'm not sure what you mean by that.  xlat_copy() just copies the data
verbatim, so it doesn't affect any escaping rules.

  In addition, the safeprint() function does escaping ONLY when it's
called, and it's not called from xlat.c because -1 is passed to
vp_prints_value().  So the only escaping is done by the module's escape
function, which is mostly what we want, right?

  Where does the double escaping come from?
