 Not sure if I good understand. Do you have any example?

 Do you mean mount options? The library uses the mnt_mangle functions
 for all strings that are read/write to/from the *tab files. You don't
 have to care about " \t\n\\".
 
 The problem is comma (','), it should not be used in the strings --
 exception are SELinux mount options where comma is acceptable if the
 option uses quotes (e.g. context="aaa,bbb,ccc").
