<div>"t" is already supported in open()'s mode argument [1] as
a way to explicitly request text mode, though it's
essentially ignored right now since text is the default
anyway. So since the option is already present, the only
thing needed at this stage for your plan would be to begin
deprecating not using it.</div>

Thanks for briefly de-lurking.<br>
<br>
So then for PEP 540... use surrogateescape immediately for t mode.<br>
<br>
Then, when the user encounters an encoding error, there would be
three solutions: switch to t mode, explicitly switch to
surrogateescape, or fix the locale.<br>
