I'm inclined to agree. Experience of using this function suggests it's very hard
to remember which way to set the boolean argument, and the resulting code is not
clear to the reader. I think we were over-influenced by pressure to minimize the
number of functions.

Perhaps suitable names might be escape-uri() and escape-uri-part().

I haven't seen use cases for an unescape-uri() function, but I agree there's an
argument for it based on completeness.
