String#escapeHTML & String#unescapeHTML #52

It would be nice to have these two functions because sometimes we do not want to strip tags but escape them instead.

function escapeHTML() {
    return this.replace(/&/g,"&amp;").replace(/</g,"&lt;").replace(/>/g,"&gt;").replace(/'/g,"&#39;").replace(/"/g, "&quot;");
}

function unescapeHTML() {
    return this.replace(/&lt;/g,"<").replace(/&gt;/g,">").replace(/&amp;/g,"&").replace(/&#39;/g,"'").replace(/&quot;/g, '"');
}

A possible implementation just for reference.
