The sandbox is a place for 3rd-party content under responsibility of the
respective authors.

The "io" module may eventually go the way of error_messages, as its main task
(de/encoding from Unicode to the specified encodings) is now provided
"transparently" by the standard lib. But we have to think about additional
capabilities (like encoding guessing) and backwards compatibility, so this
is a complex tast that merits its own ticket and time-frame.

I did find one minor issue: the messages for failed tests contain
`b'...'`, a sign that somewhere in our test framework bytes are used
instead of strings. (I suppose because the "diff" module did not work with
Unicode.)

Thanks.

The first commit removes textual references, the remaining do some clean-up in `nodes` and `error_reporting` -- I don't know if these are helpful. I think at least the first commit should be applied, though.
