Now it's possible to use the symbol ESC with CL-WHO like intended.

So, at this point, is there any difference at all between #'escape-for-html in cl-wiki and #'escape-string in cl-who?

As far as I can tell, they do exactly the same thing (though in slightly different ways). #'escape-string is a bit more flexible, but is about 45% slower on my test machine. It seems a bit odd to have both of these functions available now, just to call one at display time and the other at edit time.
