I think there's a misunderstanding there. The pickle version 0
output used to be 7-bit only for both type code and content.

While adding the Unicode support I must have forgotten about the
fact that raw-unicode-escape does not escape range(128, 256) code
points. Unfortunately, there's no way to fix this now, since the
bug has been around since Python 1.6.

That's why I think we should update the docs.
