That would be OK too.  But better might be to (1) remove/elide the
stuff that is meaningless and (2) keep the embedded readable chars.
There is little sense, I think, in escaping junk that is unreadable,
just to (presumably) avoid any loss of info.

For me, it's just about communicating a human-readable backtrace,
but perhaps (?) there is also a need, for some people, to be able
to communicate the whole, real deal, and enable someone else to
restore the escaped byte code from it.  I don't need that.

Good to hear.  Thx.
