I hate doing this but I am tired of touching a fish script as part of
some change and having `make style` radically change it. Which makes
editing fish scripts more painful than it needs to be. It is time to do
a wholesale reformatting of these scripts to conform to the documented
style as implemented by the `fish_indent` program.
Much better to only encode the characters that are not URL-safe. This
also doesn't involve any forking, and it even handles newlines and NULs
in the input.
* When using a UTF-8 locale, set locale to C temporarily in order to
read one byte at a time.
* Use the builtin printf in a forward-compatible way. (GNU)
* Improve the readability of the code.
