 * If the current user has an apostrophe in their name(say it’s De’wayne), the plugin
   produces the following code:
 * `$zopim.livechat.set({name: 'De'wayne'...`
 * Obviously that’s invalid JavaScript(since the string is closed and then there’s
   a `wayne` that’s not expected there).
 * The problem comes from not properly escaping/encoding the userdata. Please consider
   fixing this issue 🙂
