I don't understand why encoding with `surrogateescape` isn't supported still; is it the fact that a surrogate would have to produce single bytes rather than double? E.g. b'\x80' -> '\udc80' -> b'\x80' doesn't work because that would mean the UTF-16 and UTF-32 codec could then end up producing an odd number of bytes?
