Can we assume that the textual part of a FASL is ASCII text and thus avoid UTF-8 conversions? It seems that it took a lot of time from my profiling.
Would that preclude having unicode string constants?
We could encode Unicode strings in ASCII, escaping non-ASCII characters some way. What could be more problematic is symbols with unicode characters in them. We could arrange that |foo| performs the same type of escaping that "foo" does (in FASLs only).
