Thanks for an update.

Why couldn't we use 3 line idiom?
You are going to remove skip stuff in the next patch anyway, but
assignment will be left. So, what about

	if (out + 2 > end) {
		*dst = out + 2;
		return true;
	}

	if (out < end)
		*out = '\\';
	++out;
	if (out < end)
		*out = to;
	++out;
 
	*dst = out;
	return true;
