These characters do not have any special meaning in HTML and thus their conversion (in my opinion) does not bring any real benefits but only unnecessarily lengthens a string and wastes processing power.\r\n\r\nThis pull request prevents their further escaping by partially reverting #417. The issue #301 remains fixed because the `unescapeHTML()` method is not altered."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/epeli/underscore.string/issues/comments/118255635","html_url":"https://github.com/epeli/underscore.string/pull/437#issuecomment-118255635","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/epeli/underscore.string/issues/437","id":118255635,"user":{"login":"Mithgol","id":1088720,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1088720?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol","html_url":"https://github.com/Mithgol","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Mithgol/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-07-03T06:54:27Z","updated_at":"2015-07-03T06:54:27Z","body":"> can see a little benefit for users\r\n\r\nWhat's the use case?"}}
