    Protocol change: tweak the 8p encoding definition.
    
    Now I represent a space by _, and require that a literal _ be
    represented %-encoded.
    
    Rationale: spaces are extremely common in pasted data, especially in
    large numbers at the beginning of lines when you're pasting source
    code snippets. With the old protocol, code snippets of that kind would
    fall back to base64, because 3 chars per encoded space was too large a
    cost. Now they can be encoded _more_ cheaply than base64.
    
    Also, more importantly, it's a debuggability improvement: whenever
    ASCII text doesn't have to fall back to base64, you can see at a
    glance in the -v output whether the thing being pasted is the thing
    you thought it should be.
