I've experimentally implemented (not for Python) a different escaping

'\x00' decodes as U+0000 U+0000.
Glib provides some functions to convert filenames for display, in a
way which is not necessarily reversible (includes some hex escapes in
ASCII).
This sounds quite promising: 0 is an invalid character in the
filesystem API, in the environment, and in command lines, yet not in a
unicode string. Good thinking!
