Notes
This module currently sets output handles to have the ':utf8' output layer. Some might prefer
':encoding(utf-8)' which is more strict about verifying characters. There is a debate about whether or
not encoding to utf8 from perl internals can ever fail, so it may not matter. This was also chosen
because the alternative causes threads to segfault, see perlbug 31923
<https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=31923>.

Synopsis
use Test2::Plugin::UTF8;
This is similar to:
use utf8;
BEGIN {
require Test2::Tools::Encoding;
Test2::Tools::Encoding::set_encoding('utf8');
}
You can also disable the utf8 import by using 'encoding_only' to only enable utf8 encoding on the output
format.
use Test2::Plugin::UTF8 qw(encoding_only);
