Section 7.2.3:
Notice that spelling alternatives that only differ in case or use a hyphen
instead of an underscore are also valid aliases

The docs don't mention that case is immaterial for aliases, when it usually
matters in Python. The actual dictionary entries in aliases.py often differ
in case from the docs

See 7.2.3 (aliases) and 7.2.7 (utf_8_sig) in the codecs documentation.

It looks like sig works for any dash, underline combination, and is ignored
if there is no BOM:
>>> farf = bytes('many moons ago I sat on a rock', encoding='utf8')
>>> farf
b'many moons ago I sat on a rock'
>>> str(farf, encoding="utf_8_sig")
'many moons ago I sat on a rock'
>>> str(farf, encoding
