!codecs --- Codec registry and base classes — Error Handlers
To simplify and standardize error handling, codecs may implement different error handling schemes by accepting the errors string argument pair: strict; error handler's name pair: ignore; error handler's name pair: replace; error handler's name pair: backslashreplace; error handler's name pair: surro
