It may also make sense to add a charset (like badchars) to some of the functions in Rex::Text.

While it will further slow them down, it will also allow configurable opt-in/out for encoding certain characters. A good example is whether or not to encode the space (0x20) character.

A reasonable default should be used. The current 0x20..0x7e is probably ok.
