+when writing an external plugin using `proxy.py`, the getstate and setstate
+functions don't accept unicode data:

+
+the culprit is the last `_debug_fn` invocation in `send_rpc` (line 178), where
+unicode data is format-fed into a string. while this could be circumvented by
+making the formatting string a unicode string, that would cause trouble with
+python3 and we'd just move the problem to the stderr writing later on; instead,
+"`cmd, data))`" should become "`cmd, repr(data)))`" and everything is fine.
+debug output doesn't look that pretty any more, but is safe.
