I've asked Guido. We may have to revert the addition of the new
methods and then readd them for 3.3, but I don't really see
them as difficult to implement for the other Python implementations,
since they are just interfaces to the codec sub-system.

The readdition of the codecs and changes to support them in the
codec system do not fall under the moratorium, since they are
stdlib changes.
