 * 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 stripping out
 * 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.
