Geomyidae new escape handling.

Today at brcon2022 we discussed the new escape handling in geomyidae gph
files, to simplify all of our lives.

Before we had:

	Some text.
	ttext this.

becomes

	Some text
	text this.

Now this is the way:

	Some text.
	text this.
	[|[9|some binary file|/file.dat|server|port]
	[|Some text

becomes

	Some text.
	text this.
	[9|some binary file|/file.dat|server|port]
	Some text

If you generate dynamic text now, you only need to check, if a line
begins with '[' and escape appropriately. Since [ is a less used
character for beginning lines and you have to check for this anyways in
gph files, it should simplify writing gph files.

We hope our development effort makes your life better and easier.

All software using the all escape schema will need to be migrated of
course. But it will be easy to spot and fix.

Please see the source at

for comments and proposals.

After the conference will be a release with the new feature (and maybe
more from the hackathon?).


Have fun!

Sincerely yours,
