Comment (by Claude Paroz):
An alternative would be to let undecodable quoted values as is in
`request.POST`: `request.POST['want']` -> `'caf%E9'`.
Then if the app knows some posted content will contain such a value, it
can take care of unquoting the value itself. I think it would add less
backwards incompatibility.
