I see plenty of envvars with similarly long names at 
https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html .

So your initial name "PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING" LGTM.

The first intuitive choice is often the right one ('cuz it's, well, intuitive).

I am updating PEP 597 to include discussions in the thread.
Before finishing the PEP, I need to decide the option name.

I used PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING (envvar name) /
warn_default_encoding (-X option and sys.flags name) before, but it
seems too long and hard to type, easy to misspell.

Currently, I use PYTHONWARNENCODING / warn_encoding, but it is not so explicit.

Which name is the best balance between explicitness and readability?

* PYTHONWARNENCODING / warn_ecoding
* PYTHONWARNOMITENCODING / warn_omit_encoding
* PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING / warn_default_encoding
* Anything else
