lookupEntity :: String -> Maybe CharSource
Lookup an entity, using lookupNumericEntity if it starts with # and lookupNamedEntity otherwise
lookupNamedEntity :: String -> Maybe CharSource

Lookup a named entity, using htmlEntities 

 lookupNamedEntity "amp" == Just '&'
 lookupNamedEntity "haskell" == Nothing
lookupNumericEntity :: String -> Maybe CharSource

 lookupNumericEntity "Haskell" == Nothing
 lookupNumericEntity "" == Nothing
 lookupNumericEntity "89439085908539082" == Nothing
escapeXMLChar :: Char -> Maybe StringSource
