I think this part causes a regression on platforms where the "C"
locale uses UTF-8 encoding (macOS, Haiku):
Before the patch, an argument that contains non-ASCII UTF-8 characters
was displayed in full.
After the patch, an argument that contains non-ASCII UTF-8 characters
is displayed with escape characters for the non-ASCII bytes.
