In retrospect, it should have been called sys._setdefaultencoding().
That sends an extra signal that it's not meant for general use.
Considering all of the sys._getframe() hacks out there, I suspect that this
would encourage more abuse of the function than the current situation.
Why? It would still be deleted by site.py.
Ah, yes. You're right. For whatever reason I thought it lived as
site.setdefaultencoding() when I read your message and thought that you were
proposing to move it to sys. Never mind me.
