+- Issue #8715: Create PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() function: Encode a Unicode
+  object to Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding with the "surrogateescape" error
+  handler, return a bytes object. If Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is not set,
+  fall back to UTF-8.

   error handler, not only the default error handler (strict)
