So the problem is passing utf-8 encoded strings as command?

Should the encoding be made configurable? I see encode() and decode()
parameters are optional, but as soon as I call them with a string
containing umlauts I get errors. So not sure if that would be an
alternative.
BTW, thanks for all these fixes!
