 Replying to [ticket:4600 atagar]:

 > I've been finding it a little frustrating to figure out when and what
 escaping is expected so I'm generally working from the assumption that I
 should ignore escaping unless specifically called out by the spec (like it
 is for authentication cookie paths, though that wasn't enough to work from
 alone [2]).

 `esc_for_log` is the only function Tor uses to escape strings sent to the
 control port.  Every quoted string Tor emits on its control port should be
 quoted (and escaped) by a call to `esc_for_log`.

 Unrelated: `getinfo_helper_listeners` is not dead code; a macro expands
 `listeners` in some âcolumnâ of the list of GETINFO items (and the helpers
 that handle them) to `getinfo_helper_listeners`, and then the function
 that handles GETINFO commands calls it through a function pointer in the
 GETINFO item array.
