I assume the terminal window is doing the substitution for the improperly
encoded bytes.

Regarding the issue, perhaps we should convert this to a docs bug? Attempt
to make the "PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8:surrogateescape" easier to discover?
Heck, it may be worth creating a stable URL that we can include in
surrogate related error messages...
