From The RT System itself

What happens if the literal charactesr "\" "x" are output? Does it
get converted to "\" "\" "x"?

I don't mind the \x behaviour for error messages, but I'd really hate
for it to happen when I'm writing what I think is raw data onto a rawsocket,
and the data happens to contain unicode characters.

Especially if I send out '"Content-length​: ". length($var) ."\r\n"' before.

If the socket is in raw data mode, and I don't have "use bytes;" in effect,
it had _better_ die if I try to send a UTF8 string on the wire....
