Ever used "recode" ?

The purpose of EncodedFile/StreamRecoder was to convert an externally
used encoding to a standard internal one - mainly to allow programs
that didn't want to use Unicode for processing to still benefit from
the codecs that come with Python.

E.g. the example at the end of codecs.py allows using Latin-1 within
the application, while talking to the console using UTF-8.
