Sorry, I read the comment for that function and got the impression that it would interpret raw bytes as Latin-1. Fortunately that wasn't true, and using it seems to be a clear improvement. Now a mixture of non-ASCII and raw bytes, like "a\377büc" results in the title "a��büc", which is one � too many but good enough.

What about the attached patch then? Only tested on macOS, admittedly.
