[issue6213] Incremental encoder incompatibility between 2.x and py3k

[Walter Dörwald]

Walter Dörwald <walter at livinglogic.de> added the comment:

This was done because the codec state is part of the return value of
tell(). To have a reasonable return value (i.e. one with just the
position itself) in as many cases as possible it makes sense to design
the codec state in such a way, that the most common state is 0. This is
what was done for py3k: The default state (no BOM read/written yet) is 2
not 0.
