Well, I think we need to decode for display by chunk, because if a chunk
doesn't decode by 'utf-8' then I think we should leave it escaped.

Also, I think internally we should use the escaped form, and that is
what we save and send to the host. That way, if the host uses a
different escaping, the user can just manually escape it, rather than
typing it as unicode.

But I agree, if the user types unicode, we can use a per-character encoding.
