Here's an example of the specific type errors raised by additional checks in
the text-encoding specific methods. I believe the main improvement needed here
is to mention the encoding name in the exception message:
"example".encode("rot_13")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: encoder did not return a bytes object (type=str)
