I concur with Raymond. Are there problems with understanding the term "escape" 
in some context? If yes, then we perhaps need to clarify the corresponding 
place in the documentation. But if there is a problem with understanding the 
general word "escape", I think we should not do anything.

Raymond Hettinger  added the comment:

For the reasons mentioned by Inada, I don't think this should be added.  

The term "escape" means many different things in different contexts.  To the 
extent the term needs to be defined, it should be done in the docs for those 
contexts (i.e. regular expression escapes should be talked about in the regex 
docs).

Side note:  It is not the purpose of the glossary to define every term in 
computer science.  The more fluff we add to the glossary, the harder it becomes 
to rely the glossary and learn Python specific terms.

[Inada Naoki]

Inada Naoki  added the comment:

There are many "escape"; JSON, HTML, SQL, Python string literal, ESC-key, 
escape sequence in the terminal, etc...

Is there a consistent meaning of "escape" in the context of Python?

[Julien Palard]

New submission from Julien Palard :

Geoff Cutter noticed via docs@ that escape is not defined in the glossary.

I concur with the idea of adding it, opening as an "easy" issue, even if 
finding a good definition might not be that easy.
