// The actual list of disallowed characters in regexp form is more like:
// /[^A-Za-z0-9\-._~!$&'()*+,;=/:@]/
// with an additional rule for ignoring percentage-escaped characters, but
// that's a) hard to capture in a regular expression that performs well, and
// b) possibly too restrictive for real-world usage. So instead we restrict the
// filter to just control characters and spaces.
//
// This function is used in the case of small paths, where manual character code
// checks can greatly outperform the equivalent regexp (tested in V8 5.4).

I'd simplify this with /[^\x21-\xff]/ or /[^\u0021-\u00ff]/
