Rolf reported this issue regarding [gets] hanging indefinitely:

	https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/info/154ed7ce56

On the "trunk-encodingdefaultstrict" branch I've fixed that issue:

	https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/info/003c9e1f2e53312b

As of that commit, the example you posted works as you described:

	set chan [open test22.data wb]
	puts -nonewline $chan a\nb\xc0\nc\n
	close $chan

	set fd [open test22.data]
	fconfigure $fd -encoding utf-8 -encodingstrict 1
	try {
		set linenum 1
		while {[gets $fd line] >= 0} {
			puts $line
			incr linenum
		}
	} trap {POSIX EILSEQ} {err info} {
		catch {read $fd} err info
		set charnum [expr {[string length [dict get $info -result]] + 1}]
		puts stderr "$err at line $linenum, character $charnum"
	}
	close $fd

The output is:

	a
	error reading "file*": illegal byte sequence at line 2, character 2


Because "-nocomplain" has also been eliminated on that branch, the 
option
"-strictencoding" has been changed to "-encodingstrict".

On that branch I am currently working on fixing every encoding/decoding
behaviour that is less than ideal.  Any other illustrations of undesired 
or
desired behaviour on that branch are very welcome.
