QuickCheck 2.10 found a counterexample eg "\929184" broke the property.
As far as I can tell, Git.Filename is matching how git handles encoding
of strange high unicode characters in filenames for display. Git does
not display high unicode characters, and instead displays the C-style
escaped form of each byte. This is ambiguous, but since git is not
unicode aware, it doesn't need to roundtrip parse it.
So, making Git.FileName's roundtrip test only chars < 256 seems fine.
Utility.Format.format uses encode_c, in order to mimic git, so that's
ok.
Utility.Format.gen uses decode_c, but only so that stuff like "\n"
in the format string is handled. If the format string contains C-style
octal escapes, they will be converted to ascii characters, and not
combined into unicode characters, but that should not be a problem.
If the user wants unicode characters, they can include them in the
format string, without escaping them.
Finally, decode_c is used by Utility.Gpg.secretKeys, because gpg
--with-colons hex-escapes some characters in particular ':' and '\\'.
gpg passes unicode through, so this use of decode_c is not a problem.
