 The C<Encoding> role is implemented by objects that provide a character
-encoding, such as ASCII or UTF-8. Besides being implemented by the built-in
-character encodings, it may also be implemented by users to provide new
-encodings. Instances of objects doing this role are typically obtained using
-C<Encoding::Registry>. For a list of supported encodings, see L<IO::Handle|/type/IO::Handle#method_encoding>
