 * '\0'-terminated. In the backend, additional alloc_flags may be provided and
 * will be passed as-is to palloc_extended(); in the frontend, alloc_flags is
 * ignored and the copy is malloc'd.
 *
 * This function exists specifically to deal with filtering out
 * non-ASCII characters in a few places where the client can provide an almost
 * arbitrary string (and it isn't checked to ensure it's a valid username or
 * database name or similar) and we don't want to have control characters or other
 * things ending up in the log file where server admins might end up with a
 * messed up terminal when looking at them.
 *
 * In general, this function should NOT be used- instead, consider how to handle
 * the string without needing to filter out the non-ASCII characters.
 *
 * Ultimately, we'd like to improve the situation to not require replacing all
 * non-ASCII but perform more intelligent filtering which would allow UTF or
 * similar, but it's unclear exactly what we should allow, so stick to ASCII only
 * for now.
