Hi Benjamin,

The escaping idea sounds interesting but there are some issues:

1) creating an escape-based syntax is error-prone -- lots of security holes in
software are in parsers

2) there isn't time to make such a serializer/deserializer in time for the API
freeze.

So I would prefer to limit the scope of this bug to producing correct results or
producing errors, but not incorrect results. That said the ability to serialize
arbitrary GObject properties is an interesting thought.
