[New-bugs-announce] [issue1328] feature request: force BOM option

[James G. sack (jim)]

New submission from James G. sack (jim):

The behavior of codecs utf_16_[bl]e is to omit the BOM.

In a testing environment (and perhaps elsewhere), a forced BOM is useful.
I'm requesting an optional argument something like
 force_BOM=False

I guess it would require such an option in multiple function calls, sorry I 
don't know enough to itemize them.

If this is implemented, it might be desirable to think about the aliases 
like unicode*unmarked.

Regards,
..jim
