Add new MsimMessage element type, MSIM_TYPE_RAW, for fields in incoming protocol messages that don't have any type information associated with them. These elements will be unescaped if used as strings, in msim_msg_get_string(), and won't be escaped if serialized into a protocol message in msim_msg_element_pack(). On the other hand, MSIM_TYPE_STRING will be escaped when packed. Previously, everything was MSIM_TYPE_STRING, leading to more complicated escaping. Now, an instant message "foo/bar\baz" will be represented as follows: bm(raw): 1 f(raw): 180301984 cv(raw): 673 msg(raw): foo/1bar/2baz And it will be interpreted by the receiving client correctly-- msim_msg_get_string(..., "msg") will be "foo/bar\baz".
