So does StringUtils.escape. Should that be deprecated as well?
For the record, there's an argument to be made that they should *not*
be deprecated. Since StringUtils has to do with Java strings,
StringUtils.escape/unescape does *Java* escaping. OTOH,
StringEscapeUtils has named methods for several types of escaping,
including HTML, XML, Java, JavaScript, and SQL.
Just because it delegates does not mean it should be deprecated.
Note that I'm not convinced of this argument, but I wanted to raise
it.
