I'm having trouble with some input files that are almost all proper
UTF-8 but with a couple of troublesome characters mixed in, which I'd
like to ignore instead of throwing ValueError.  I've found the
openhook for the encoding

for line in fileinput.input(options.files, openhook=fileinput.hook_encoded("utf-8")):
    do_stuff(line)

which the documentation describes as "a hook which opens each file
with codecs.open(), using the given encoding to read the file", but
I'd like codecs.open() to also have the errors='ignore' or
errors='replace' effect.  Is it possible to do this?

Thanks.
