```
final class TextFormatEscaper
extends java.lang.Object
```
Provide text format escaping of proto instances. These ASCII characters are escaped:
- ASCII #7 (bell) --> \a
- ASCII #8 (backspace) --> \b
- ASCII #9 (horizontal tab) --> \t
- ASCII #10 (linefeed) --> \n
- ASCII #11 (vertical tab) --> \v
- ASCII #13 (carriage return) --> \r
- ASCII #12 (formfeed) --> \f
- ASCII #34 (apostrophe) --> \'
- ASCII #39 (straight double quote) --> \"
- ASCII #92 (backslash) --> \\
- ASCII characters besides those three which are in the range [32..127] inclusive are output as is, unescaped.
- All other bytes are escaped as octal sequences. If we are printing text, we convert to UTF-8 and print any high codepoints as their UTF-8 encoded units in octal escapes.
