In phase 1, the tokenizer checks the *complete file* for non-ASCII characters and outputs single warning per file if it doesn't find a coding declaration at the top. Unicode literals continue to use [raw-]unicode-escape as codec.
Do you suggest that in this phase, the declared encoding is not used for anything except to complain?
