Sorry, all, I'm not trying to be difficult, but I know that upstream is
hesitant when it comes to changing existing behaviour (see his comments in pod
regarding quoted vs. non-quoted strings), so I'm also very reluctant to
introduce a patch that could easily break things for existing code that expects
to get unencoded strings.

If there's no movement on this upstream, I'll happily consider a patch that
extends existing behaviour. Maybe a new set of load_file/save_file methods that
handle automatic detection of encoding; or an optional parameter to existing
methods; or allow file handles to be passed instead of file names; or whatever.
