Subject: much better `squeeze-unhex-and-decode-utf8-string'
X-Git-Url: http://christophe.rhodes.io/gitweb/?p=squeeze-el.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e4ee58cdc46656c8ffaa2e9e0b642c88036b980

much better `squeeze-unhex-and-decode-utf8-string'

It turns out that `url-unhex-string' uses the multiple-concat strategy
that I just removed from `squeeze-update-state', which ends up scaling
quadratically in the size of the input.  This is bad, particularly
when we are working (as I am) with large output string such as
resulting from an albums query.
