So, I think ASCII is the natural choice here.
It's not worth hanging up this facility over this issue, ISTM. If we
want something more that ASCII then a base64 or hex encoded string could
possibly meet the need in the first instance.
Yeah, that would serve people who want to push either binary or
non-ASCII data through the pipe. It would leave all risks of encoding
problems on the user's head, though.
True. It's a workaround, but I think it's acceptable at this stage. We
need to get some experience with this facility before we can refine it.
