Despite there being also an error handler called "surrogates". People, perhaps we could end all the bikeshedding and call one of those handlers "surrogates-pass" and the other "surrogates-escape", which sounds quite faithful to what they actually /do/? After having read about the existing error handler called "surrogates" and having thought about it, I've decided that calling one just "surrogates" isn't very helpful to the user; it has something to do with surrogates, but what?

So +1 for Antoine's suggestion from me.
