Only incremental decoder should return partial results. Other decoders are
strict and (usually) stateless.
$ ./python
>>> import codecs
>>> decoder = codecs.getdecoder('utf8')
>>> decoder('\u20ac'.encode('utf8'), 'strict')
('€', 3)
>>> decoder('\u20ac'.encode('utf8')[:2], 'strict')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1:
unexpected end of data
