I don't have the full answer for you, since I'm not sure what we hook
into for process*, but I thought I'd point out one thing here.

It turns out that it's not even as bad as you assume. As I understand
it, there are very few bytes strings that are not representable as
paths; it's certainly far more than just ASCII that keeps you safe.
