Some functions used throughout the code

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 bs_quote

=head2 bs_unquote

C<bs_quote()> "makes safe" strings with backslashed characters in it, so other
operations can be done on them. C<bs_unquote> goes the other way.

 $string = "foo \<bar\> <baz>";
 $string = bs_quote( $string );
 $string =~ s/<([^>]+)>/"$1"/g;
 $string = bs_unquote( $string );
 $string eq 'foo <bar> "baz"';

my $marker_start = ';;;TEST_BDD_TEMP_MARKER_OPEN;;;';

sub bs_quote {
	my $string = shift;
	$string =~ s/\\(.)/${marker_start} . ord($1) . ${marker_end}/ge;
	return $string;
}

sub bs_unquote {
	my $string = shift;
	$string =~ s/$marker_start(\d+)$marker_end/chr($1)/ge;
	return $string;
