hexify? IIRC the fastest compilable representation of arbitrary byte blocks
we found for perl 5 was how Encode does it, which was {} initialisers such as
static const U8 enctable[512] = { 194,128,194,129,194,130,194,131,194,132,
194,133,194,134,194,135,194,136,194,137,194,138,194,139,194,140,194,141,194,
...
239,240,241,242,243,244,245,246,247,248,249,250,251,252,253,254,255 };
