Please don't do that. It remembers me the magical str.encode() method of
Python2. I prefer simple API with limited features: if you want to open a
Python script, use tokenize.open(), if you want to open an XML document use
any XML library, etc. It remembers me also the discussion about detecting BOM
in text files: issue #7651. There was no consensus, and so the issue is still
open.
For this particular issue, I prefer a specific function tokenize.<choose a
function name>.
