We could add an extra step to also escape range(128, 256) code points, but I don't think it's worth the performance loss this would cause. Note that this was the first time anyone has ever noticed the fact that the pickle protocol 0 is not pure ASCII - in 8 years. I think it's better to just adapt the documentation and remove the "ASCII". The important feature of protocol 0 is being human readable (to some extent), not that it's pure ASCII.
