I think we should make an effort to make the netrc/authinfo file
shareable with other programs, or else what's the point of using such a
file? We may as well `print' straight to a file. raw-text encoding is,
to me, saying "we give up."
I thought today, on most popular platforms, UTF-8 was the safest choice
if you want to share data that covers UCS. I think the non-UCS data can
be covered by letting the user override the encoding in a defcustom.
The other objection to UTF-8 was that some binary sequences can't be
encoded by it. Remember, we're talking about passwords and other
legible tokens, not binary files. The likelihood of such a sequence in
a token is too small to matter IMO. So I still think raw-text is the
worse choice even though it's easier to make it.
