+// CUnescape()
+//
+// Unescapes a `source` std::string and copies it into `dest`, rewriting C-style
+// escape sequences (http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/escape) into
+// their proper code point equivalents, returning `true` if successful.
+//
+// The following unescape sequences can be handled:
+//
+//   * ASCII escape sequences ('\n','\r','\\', etc.) to their ASCII equivalents
+//   * Octal escape sequences ('\nnn') to byte nnn. The unescaped value must
+//     resolve to a single byte or an error will occur. E.g. values greater than
+//     0xff will produce an error.
+//   * Hexadecimal escape sequences ('\xnn') to byte nn. While an arbitrary
+//     number of following digits are allowed, the unescaped value must resolve
+//     to a single byte or an error will occur. E.g. '\x0045' is equivalent to
+//     '\x45', but '\x1234' will produce an error.
+//   * Unicode escape sequences ('\unnnn' for exactly four hex digits or
+//     '\Unnnnnnnn' for exactly eight hex digits, which will be encoded in
+//     UTF-8. (E.g., `\u2019` unescapes to the three bytes 0xE2, 0x80, and
+//     0x99).
+//
+//
+// If any errors are encountered, this function returns `false` and stores the
+// first encountered error in `error`. To disable error reporting, set `error`
+// to `nullptr` or use the overload with no error reporting below.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   std::string s = "foo\\rbar\\nbaz\\t";
+//   std::string unescaped_s = absl::CUnescape(s);
+//   EXPECT_EQ(unescaped_s, "foo\rbar\nbaz\t");
