+If C<unsafe_printable_strings> is not given or is false, then the
+output is written as pure 7 bit ASCII, with line endings which are the
+default for the local host. Strings are always encoded as hex bytes.
+This is safe because it preserves the original content and encoding of
+strings. See L</ENCODING STRINGS> below.
+
+If C<unsafe_printable_strings> is true, then strings are assumed to be
+UTF-16LE and are converted to UTF-8 for output. The final zero
+codepoint in the string is removed if there is one. This is unsafe
+because it does not preserve the fidelity of the strings in the
+Registry and because the content type of strings is not always
+UTF-16LE. However it is useful if you just want to display strings
+for quick hacking and debugging.
