/*
* We may be searching in binary data, which is often invalid UTF-8.
*
* We have to create a non UTF-8 regex (that is, G_REGEX_RAW) or else, as
* the data is invalid UTF-8, both GLib's PCRE and our
* mc_search__g_regex_match_full_safe() are going to fail us. The former by
* not finding all bytes, the latter by overwriting the supposedly invalid
* UTF-8 with NULs.
*
* To do this, we specify "ASCII" as the charset.
*
* In fact, we can specify any charset other than "UTF-8": any such charset
* will trigger G_REGEX_RAW (see [1]). The output of [2] will be the same
* for all charsets because it skips the \xXX symbols
* mc_search__hex_translate_to_regex() outputs.
*
* But "ASCII" is the best choice because a hex pattern may contain a
* quoted string: this way we know [2] will ignore any characters outside
* ASCII letters range (these ignored chars will be copied verbatim to the
* output and will match as-is; in other words, in a case-sensitive manner;
* If the user is interested in case-insensitive searches of international
* text, he shouldn't be using hex search in the first place.)
*
* Switching out of UTF-8 has another advantage:
*
* When doing case-insensitive searches, GLib treats \xXX symbols as normal
* letters and therefore matches both "a" and "A" for the hex pattern
* "0x61". When we switch out of UTF-8, we're switching to using [2], which
* doesn't have this issue.
