    Only programs like ielm [and it's the only one I'm aware of] that
    _expect_ to be running emacs, and have non-printable characters
    displayed `readably', will be screwed up by this interpretation.

They could locally set a variable that tells this function to do
nothing.  That requires no special mechanism.
