Cheerio: Cheerio .html() should not encode cyrillic symbols

[operatino]

var cheerio = require('cheerio');
var $ = cheerio.load('<div>кириллица</div>');
console.log($.html()); // => <div>&#x43A;&#x438;&#x440;&#x438;&#x43B;&#x43B;&#x438;&#x446;&#x430;</div>

when expected output is <div>кириллица</div>

$('div').text() returns normal, not encoded value

Found a solution in #466 with $.html({decodeEntities: false}), which works fine. Anybody knows what could be the downsides of using this option?

[operatino]

And here's the downside - $('div').html({decodeEntities: false}) returns an object, instead of a string with actual HTML.

Could be solve with nasty hack:

var div = cheerio.load($('div').html());
div.html({decodeEntities: false});

decodeEntities is not an option for .html, but for .load (or the constructor).

Thanks, that helped!
