I just got a bug report for my client regarding multibyte characters
within a key. In order to fix it, I need to know what *should* be
allowed in a key.
The protocol document is fairly vague as far as what makes up a key.
It says some specific characters that *aren't* valid, but seems to
have been written with an ASCII mindset.
In the binary protocol, we have a lot of freedom, but that freedom
doesn't extend to the text protocol.
Should we constrain keys to ASCII, or force clients to understand
UTF-8 (or some other specific encoding)?
