My point is that your only use of VALID_CHARS was in the strchr() to see
which characters need escaping.  systemd is using the full set for
characters present _after_ escaping, whereas you are only using it
_before_ escaping, and have to special-case your escaping as a result.

But I'm not too concerned about the efficiency to insist on that
micro-optimization.
