Problem
Memory Consumption in Elektra is quite high as the key names are long and stored twice in memory.
Constraints
- comparing of keys and thus searching in key sets must be possible with memcmp
Assumptions
- printing the escaped key name is not so much used
Considered Alternatives
Decision
Only store one key name, suitable for comparing/searching/iterating over name.
Rationale
- saves memory
- reduces API (
keyUnescapedName*)
Implications
- rename
keyUnescapedName to keyName
- To get the keyName you then would need something like `elektraEncodeKeyName(buffer, keyName(...
