Updated patch with lots of comments added around pg_clean_ascii() about
why it exists, why we do the cleaning, and warnings to discourage people
from using it without good cause. I've also done some additional
testing with it and it seems to be working well. I'll poke at it a bit
more tomorrow but if there aren't any other concerns, I'll commit it
towards the end of the day.
Thanks!
