 I'm having trouble seeing how that's different from `unescape_URI`?  The
 return value of `unescape_URI` doesn't have non-ascii data escaped, but it
 will get rendered with it escaped in /x format when printing/logging:

 {{{
 local f: file = open("test");
 local f2: file = open("test2");
 local s: string = unescape_URI("%FC");
 print s;
 print f2, s;
 enable_raw_output(f);
 print f, s;
 }}}

 Prints `\xfc` to stdout, and the files have:

 {{{
 $ hexdump test
 0000000 fc
 0000001
 $ hexdump test2
 0000000 5c 78 66 63 0a
 0000005
 }}}

 So I think the actual data in the return value is what you want, but
 certain usages may provide the escaping.  Can you give an example of what
 you need?
