 Replying to [comment:16 enshrined]:
 > It may be worth deciding what happens for multiple spaces, should these
 stay in the form of `%20%20` or be stripped down to a single `%20`?
 Thanks for the patch! Multiple consecutive spaces are fine, it's just the
 encoding of them (or rather, non-removal of them) that `esc_url()` is
 concerned with.
