LGTM. Perhaps the documentation could be explicit about the fact that the default encoding changed in v6?

Aside: 'enforced' is a bit of an odd choice of words.

I’ve updated with “implied” substituted where “enforced” is currently being used. And +1 to being explicit about the change in v6, but that should probably go into a different PR against master.

@addaleax is this important enough to be rolled into v4.5.0 or could it wait for the next patch release?

@thealphanerd uff… doesn’t really matter? It can wait, but it’s a only a correction in the docs.
