+- Issue #9632: Remove sys.setfilesystemencoding() function: use
+  PYTHONFSENCODING environment variable to set the filesystem encoding at
+  Python startup. sys.setfilesystemencoding() is unable to reencode all
+  filenames in all objects and so creates inconsistencies.
+
 - Create os.fsdecode(): decode from the filesystem encoding with
   surrogateescape error handler, or strict error handler on Windows.

-.. function:: setfilesystemencoding(enc)
-
-   Set the encoding used when converting Python strings to file names to *enc*.
-   By default, Python tries to determine the encoding it should use automatically
-   on Unix; on Windows, it avoids such conversion completely. This function can
-   be used when Python's determination of the encoding needs to be overwritten,
-   e.g. when not all file names on disk can be decoded using the encoding that
-   Python had chosen.
