 * lowercase letter "e".
 *
 * NOTE(user):
 * HtmlEscape is often called during the generation of large blocks of HTML.
 * Using statics for the regular expressions and strings is an optimization
 * that can more than half the amount of time IE spends in this function for
 * large apps, since strings and regexes both contribute to GC allocations.
 *
 * Testing for the presence of a character before escaping increases the number
 * of function calls, but actually provides a speed increase for the average
 * case -- since the average case often doesn't require the escaping of all 4
 * characters and indexOf() is much cheaper than replace().
 * The worst case does suffer slightly from the additional calls, therefore the
 * opt_isLikelyToContainHtmlChars option has been included for situations
 * where all 4 HTML entities are very likely to be present and need escaping.
 *
 * Some benchmarks (times tended to fluctuate +-0.05ms):
 *                                     FireFox                     IE6
 * (no chars / average (mix of cases) / all 4 chars)
 * no checks                     0.13 / 0.22 / 0.22         0.23 / 0.53 / 0.80
 * indexOf                       0.08 / 0.17 / 0.26         0.22 / 0.54 / 0.84
 * indexOf + re test             0.07 / 0.17 / 0.28         0.19 / 0.50 / 0.85
 *
 * An additional advantage of checking if replace actually needs to be called
 * is a reduction in the number of object allocations, so as the size of the
 * application grows the difference between the various methods would increase.
 *
 * @param {string} str string to be escaped.
