Comment (by dfeuer):
Absolutely any code in the entire world that relies on the current
behavior will break. The current behavior is expressed in the reference
implementation in the Haskell 2010 report. Frankly, changing it ''is not
an option''. You can write your own function to unescape valid Unicode.
You can also write your own `UShow` class if you like with a method for
showing various things using Unicode generally. You can then try to
convince other developers to depend on your package and write instances of
your class.
