Description

With modern systems, it is useful to be able to see the real characters and not the escaped versions. I suggest adding a new option (-u, for example) to the test framework to see the real characters.

* In many cases, it's not errln/logln which do the escapes, but individual functions.

* I suggest instead detecting/setting the output encoding. Current behavior default is 'invariant platform', everything not ascii/ebcdic is escaped. -u would effectively set it to utf-8 on output, causing no escapes.

Some code such as that dealing with format chars may still want escapes.

  • owner changed from somebody to mark.
  • status changed from new to assigned.

I agree, that would be a better way to do it. I have a first trial, which just disables the escaping, but I can improve it to use an output encoding. One question is how to do that? I don't see an easy way to get the encoding from the PrintWriter.
