Replying to [comment:18 vbraun]:
> Right now its byte strings.
Which simply means that the encoding is "undefined". It's not the opposite
of UTF-8. It's maybe UTF-8, maybe something else.
> Once we switch to unicode
"We" already partially switched to UTF-8: Sage source files are UTF-8 and
some terminals (more and more these days) use UTF-8 encoding by default.
> At no point is it a good idea to match for UTF-8 encoded escape
sequences imho.
Fair enough, but I think matching literal `\x9b` bytes is even worse.
