This looks like a good start in improving guestfish escaping/unescaping 
functions.  I have few general questions/notes:

- the two paragraph of descriptions above may better suited directly for
  the patch adding rl.c/h

- given that rl.c seems extracted from guestfish, may be better to do
  the "function extraction" in two steps: first move the functions from
  fish.c in an own file (adding it to the build system, etc), and then
  do the improvements on them. This way it is easier to track where they
  came from, and making sure guestfish can still use them.

- most probably testquoting can just be directly in fish/test-quoting.c,
  among the other tests

- take care of the indentation, like the space before a parenthesis

I'm adding few more specific notes/questions in patches.
