Description: An encoder only differs from a decoder in that it has an extra function. And in that feed() accepts wide strings and drain() returns only 8-bit strings.

Variable charset: string Charset.Encoder.charset
Description: Canonical name of the charset - giving this name to encoder returns an instance of the same class as this one.
Note: This is not necessarily the same name that was actually given to encoder to produce this object.
