Currently @Encoded only applies to the value of the reference
parameter, not its name. I suppose we could extend it to mean that the
Param value is also encoded. I.e.
@GET
void get(@Encoded @QueryParam("a%20b") String ab)
means get the value of the "a b" query parameter and don't decode it.
@Path is tricky though, currently @Encoded on a class is equivalent to
setting @Encoded on all parameters of all resource methods, that would
have to change if we wanted to apply @Encoded to @Path and drop the
encode property.
