Can Bedrock go 5 seconds without inventing the stupidest NBT spec breaks imaginable?

Anyway... my plan will probably be like this:

• add \uXXXX unicode escapes to SNBT parser just like JSON
• and add a thing to SnbtOptions that decides when to serialize them
• by default, only does for control characters
• in inline preview, replace specifically \u0000 with some placeholder char
• for edit box, any ideas? It's supposed to be "raw" text so no escapes, but obviously we can't have null characters hanging around in there. Maybe the string editor can have a byte view tab?

Also, I will most likely not work on this any time soon :(
