Hi!
I just noticed that systemctl kill logs a (mis-named) service "{__SERVICE__}" as "\x7b__SERVICE__\x7d.service".
Is that intended? Are braces considered bad?
As per systemd.unit(5),
Valid unit names consist of a "name prefix" and a dot and a suffix specifying the unit type. The "unit prefix" must consist of one or more valid characters (ASCII letters, digits, ":", "-", "_", ".", and "\").
Anything else goes through C-style escaping (see systemd-escape) before it even leaves systemctl.
