Agreed.

You can probably tell me what 'output' is and what 
Paragraph::Pimpl::simpleTeXSpecialChars does if it does not output?

Yes, that would be great, but we know that it is currently not possible.

Indeed. But doing the explicit encodings does not prevent us from doing 
more sophisticated things in a second step, and it is how LaTeX currently 
works.
