+# This program is completely unaware of encodings, it just writes raw bytes,
+# which happens to be utf-8 for ascending ansi-art-like blocks. However, only
+# a single byte of multibyte utf-8 sequences are yielded each fraction of a
+# second, testing Issue #9, which will yield a UnicodeDecodeError for
+# incompletely decoded bytes, even though it looks fine in say, a Terminal
+# (unless you interrupt the output bytes by holding down the spacebar!)
