A while ago, I was playing around with the idea of encoded '/'s in Maildir names since many people have asked for a way to use them. UTF-7 does not require that each character be representable in only 1 way like UTF-8 does, so it's possible to encode US-ASCII characters and put them into the folder name;
This is explicitly disallowed by RFC 3501:
"Modified BASE64 MUST NOT be used to represent any printing US-ASCII character which can represent itself."
Anyway, listescape plugin can already do that, as long as you're not using '/' as hierarchy separator.
