Hi! Yeah, I'm happy to take a look. Notes below...

Can you get the same functionality out of sprintf's %pE (escaped
string)? If not, maybe we should expand the flags available?

 * - 'E[achnops]' For an escaped buffer, where rules are defined by
 * combination
 *                of the following flags (see string_escape_mem() for
 *                the
 *                details):
 *                  a - ESCAPE_ANY
 *                  c - ESCAPE_SPECIAL
 *                  h - ESCAPE_HEX
 *                  n - ESCAPE_NULL
 *                  o - ESCAPE_OCTAL
 *                  p - ESCAPE_NP
 *                  s - ESCAPE_SPACE
 *                By default ESCAPE_ANY_NP is used.

This doesn't cover escaping >0x7f and " and \

And perhaps I should rework kstrdup_quotable() to have that flag? It's
not currently escaping non-ascii and it probably should. Maybe
"ESCAPE_QUOTABLE" as "q"?
