Does machine-readable require ASCII-only, and does repr() guarantee
this? It sounded like the worries about not escaping Unicode
characters were related to it not visually distinguishing between
different encodings for the same visual results (as their
machine-readable Unicode strings, or encoded UTF-8 bytestreams, would
already differ).
