gokeepasslib: Writing "&" character in entry title fails
Fails = Keepass tells that the file is corrupted.
Probably also fails with any other elements (UserName, Password), in Entry’s Values member.
Code to reproduce: https://github.com/tobischo/gokeepasslib/blob/master/examples/example-writing.go (change “My GMail password” to “Foo & Bar”).
Foo & Bar works, so apparently the user of the API has to be aware of the XML-backedness, which was a bit surprising to me.
Shouldn’t gokeepasslib do the XML-escaping? Or if not, maybe we should change mkValue() and mkProtectedValue() in the file writing example to do the XML-escaping, so not more people stumble with this.
Is this true in the reading direction as well, that when you read the file with Title containing &, we get that back instead of &?

Sorry it took me so long… been super busy here and managed just now to continue my hobby project (https://github.com/function61/pi-security-module)…
Managed to test it now, it works. 👍 Thanks, you’re awesome! 😃
