I propose to add "namereplace" error handler which is similar to
"backslashreplace" error handler but use \N escapes instead of \x/\u/\U
escapes.
>>> '−1'.encode('ascii', 'backslashreplace')
b'\\u22121'
>>> '−1'.encode('ascii', 'namereplace')
b'\\N{MINUS SIGN}1'
In some cases such representation is more readable.
What are you think about this? Are there suggestions for better name?
