In that variant, it's more a demonstration that the whole testsuite
passes fine with that new encoding code in effect for all tests
and that the patch is in accordance with CompatibilityRules.

I intend to do a variant of the patch, where the new encoding is
*off* by default for new repos and can be turned on with a let's say

[format]
dotpath = True

in the default per install Mercurial.ini of the binary Windows
packages.

In that new variant of the patch, I can also include some cross format
testcases.
