I have a hard time believing that adding a strlen() to the handling of a short
column won't be a measurable overhead with lots of short attributes.
Particularly because the patch afaict will call it repeatedly if there are any
to-be-escaped characters.
I also don't think it's good how much code this repeats. I think you'd have to
start with preparatory moving the exiting code into static inline helper
functions and then introduce SIMD into those.
