IOW, I think .transform may be the wrong solution to library
disorganization.
Those methods are not meant to help with the library reorg.
They are needed as an easy way to access codecs that perform
str->str or bytes->bytes encoding/decoding, e.g. for escaping
text ('unicode-printable', 'xml-escape').
I'm using gzip, uu or base64 as examples, since those codecs
already exist in Python 2.x and currently cannot be used in
Python 3.x due to the type restrictions on the .encode() and
.decode() methods.
