curl::curl_escape() —
https://github.com/jeroen/curl/search?q=curl_escape&unscoped_q=curl_escape
— uses the underlying libcurl curl_easy_escape() which does proper
escaping b/c it's, well, curl.
{httr} uses curl::curl_escape() —
https://github.com/r-lib/httr/search?q=curl_escape&unscoped_q=curl_escape
The use it's `url-query.r` is the function compose_query().
compose_query() is called from build_url() in url.r. handle_url()
(from handle-url.r) uses build_url().
All the "verbs" use handle_url() —
https://github.com/r-lib/httr/search?q=handle_url&unscoped_q=handle_url
So {httr} relies on the quintessential standard in URL escaping —
which is libcurl's — for all URL machinations.
