For example

auto a = [ "fooo\nbar" ];
auto b = format("%(%s%)", a);

gives b: "fooo\nbar"

Is there any other function to escape string? I'm looking for 
something that doesn't require to make an array at first.

For example is there string escape(string s) in phobos ? I've 
searched and have not found it.

Escaping is done based on what the reserved characters are. What 
are you going to be using it for?

I'm writing an interpreter and it should dump original string 
from memory.
Also i wonder if there's a function to convert "aaa\\nbb" to 
"aaa\nbb" (i.e. to unescape)
