        // output: "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL Portal"

        // because escaping and unescaping are exact opposite
        // and unescaping an escaped string returns the original


        //  For readability's sake it would make more sense to do:
        llOwnerSay("For readability's sake:\n\t" + "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/" + llEscapeURL("LSL Portal"));
        // output: "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL%20Portal"
