Both of these routines do the same thing, the only difference is how they handle invalid characters in the stream. I propose factoring out the encoding without any invalid char handling in an API called encodeUtf8Unsafe and use the following routines on the input stream before using encodeUtf8Unsafe:

• replaceInvalid to replace invalid chars in the input stream
• dropInvalid to drop in

Per discussion in #2743 this class is mis-named.

Also, rename LinkStreamValue to just plain LinkStream.

Hi there,

Thanks for this amazing module.

I think there is a problem with the way terms are printed.
I run some Prolog code from Python, querying Prolog with:

H = pyswip.Variable()
induce = pyswip.Functor('induce', 1)
q = Query(induce(H))
q.nextSolution()
print(H.value)

I get a result like this for H:

[Functor(319757,2,
 [Functor(9048461,3,_10560234,_10560236,_1056023
