That is indeed the best solution for that problem that I've heard so
far. I'm not so sure about replacing "strict" with, say,
codecs.strict, but in general, it seems like a very elegant approach
to me.

The only problem is that all existing codecs have to be reworked to
take the extended interface into account. Would you like to work on a
patch for Python?
