There is not enough information in the descriptor to preserve the exact encoding used in the original source. So the strategy it employs is to use
unicode.IsPrint
to decide if it needs to be encoded. If so, it uses an octal escape for values that fit in 7 bits, short unicode escapes for values that fit in 16 bits, and long unicode escapes for anything else.Literal values for
bytes
fields use the more aggressive encoding -- any byte outside the 7-bit ASCII printable range is encoded. But, forstring
fields, it will now preserve unicode in the output instead of escaping everything.Fixes #527
