      changes to many C functions, this approach has been rejected.
  
+     For stream readers/writers the errors attribute must be changeable
+     to be able to switch between different error handling methods
+     during the lifetime of the stream reader/writer. This is currently
+     the case for codecs.StreamReader and codecs.StreamWriter and
+     all their subclasses. All core codecs and probably most of the
+     third party codecs (e.g. JapaneseCodecs) derive their stream
+     readers/writers from these classes so this already works,
+     but the attribute errors should be documented as a requirement.
