    # === Encodings in ActionView::Template
    #
    # ActionView::Template is one of a few sources of potential
    # encoding issues in Rails. This is because the source for
    # templates are usually read from disk, and Ruby (like most
    # encoding-aware programming languages) assumes that the
    # String retrieved through File IO is encoded in the
    # <tt>default_external</tt> encoding. In Rails, the default
    # <tt>default_external</tt> encoding is UTF-8.
    #
    # As a result, if a user saves their template as ISO-8859-1
    # (for instance, using a non-Unicode-aware text editor),
    # and uses characters outside of the ASCII range, their
    # users will see diamonds with question marks in them in
    # the browser.
    #
    # For the rest of this documentation, when we say "UTF-8",
    # we mean "UTF-8 or whatever the default_internal encoding
    # is set to". By default, it will be UTF-8.
    #
    # To mitigate this problem, we use a few strategies:
    # 1. If the source is not valid UTF-8, we raise an exception
    #    when the template is compiled to alert the user
    #    to the problem.
    # 2. The user can specify the encoding using Ruby-style
    #    encoding comments in any template engine. If such
    #    a comment is supplied, Rails will apply that encoding
    #    to the resulting compiled source returned by the
    #    template handler.
    # 3. In all cases, we transcode the resulting String to
    #    the UTF-8.
    #
    # This means that other parts of Rails can always assume
    # that templates are encoded in UTF-8, even if the original
    # source of the template was not UTF-8.
    #
    # From a user's perspective, the easiest thing to do is
    # to save your templates as UTF-8. If you do this, you
    # do not need to do anything else for things to "just work".
    #
    # === Instructions for template handlers
    #
    # The easiest thing for you to do is to simply ignore
    # encodings. Rails will hand you the template source
    # as the default_internal (generally UTF-8), raising
    # an exception for the user before sending the template
    # to you if it could not determine the original encoding.
    #
    # For the greatest simplicity, you can support only
    # UTF-8 as the <tt>default_internal</tt>. This means
    # that from the perspective of your handler, the
    # entire pipeline is just UTF-8.
    #
    # === Advanced: Handlers with alternate metadata sources
    #
    # If you want to provide an alternate mechanism for
    # specifying encodings (like ERB does via <%# encoding: ... %>),
    # you may indicate that you will handle encodings yourself
    # by implementing <tt>self.handles_encoding?</tt>
    # on your handler.
    #
    # If you do, Rails will not try to encode the String
    # into the default_internal, passing you the unaltered
    # bytes tagged with the assumed encoding (from
    # default_external).
    #
    # In this case, make sure you return a String from
    # your handler encoded in the default_internal. Since
    # you are handling out-of-band metadata, you are
    # also responsible for alerting the user to any
    # problems with converting the user's data to
    # the <tt>default_internal</tt>.
    #
    # To do so, simply raise the raise +WrongEncodingError+
    # as follows:
    #
    #     raise WrongEncodingError.new(
    #       problematic_string,
    #       expected_encoding
    #     )
