Raw Mode to avoid double encoding

[pathsny]

I have code that uses ap with some default options to print data. At times i'd like to pre-format some data and pass it in. However passing in object.ai(options) results in the string being encoded twice. I'd like to be able to set some sort of "raw" option or to have ai return a wrapped object that should be displayed as is.

Hi @pathsny do you have an example you can share?

I don't know @pathsny 's specific requirement, but a raw mode would be useful on Rails #to_sql command. With AmazingPrint, you receive an ASCII-encoded string "SELECT \"users\".* FROM \"users\"" with all the backspace noise, however puts provides the clean string SELECT "users".* FROM "users", which is much easier to read.

@johnpitchko that example seems like where we would just want to use puts like this

I am open to a PR if folks think it's useful though.
