Drive-by comment: I tend to agree with @eisenwave that the output is worse; I slightly prefer the angle brackets (but can live with them being lost), but I prefer printing the code point (at least for confusable characters if not every time) because that can be crucial information sometimes. Printing the quotes is mostly a consistency thing for other diagnostics printing characters like `err_ucn_escape_basic_scs`, `trigraph_converted`, `err_invalid_char_raw_delim`, etc.
The only purpose to `EscapeStringForDiagnostic` is to escape strings for diagnostics; if there are output regressions when using it for more diagnostics, the function can be updated to accommodate (potentially with policy parameters). What am I missing?
(I don't insist on a change, @cor3ntin is the expert here, but his suggestion to use that function seems like something I would have also suggested to ensure diagnostic consistency, hence the question.)
