The quote_escape argument will be removed from readr::write_*() in its next release. It has been deprecated for over 4 years, since readr v2.0.0 (2021-07-20). Since that time, any quote_escape value has just been passed along as escape, which is what this PR does.

This is part of a bigger effort to advance a bunch of deprecation processes that started 4+ years ago: tidyverse/readr#1600. I released readr v2.1.6 on 2025-11-14 and have no immediate plans for another release. I just wanted to advance these deprecations right away, to give downstream dependencies plenty of time to adjust.

I am also sending an email to the maintainer listed in DESCRIPTION.
