-Returns a copy of +self+ transcoded as determined by +dst_encoding+.
-By default, raises an exception if +self+
-contains an invalid byte or a character not defined in +dst_encoding+;
-that behavior may be modified by encoding options; see below.
-
-With no arguments:
-
-- Uses the same encoding if <tt>Encoding.default_internal</tt> is +nil+
-  (the default):
-
-    Encoding.default_internal # => nil
-    s = "Ruby\x99".force_encoding('Windows-1252')
-    s.encoding                # => #<Encoding:Windows-1252>
-    s.bytes                   # => [82, 117, 98, 121, 153]
-    t = s.encode              # => "Ruby\x99"
-    t.encoding                # => #<Encoding:Windows-1252>
-    t.bytes                   # => [82, 117, 98, 121, 226, 132, 162]
-
-- Otherwise, uses the encoding <tt>Encoding.default_internal</tt>:
-
-    Encoding.default_internal = 'UTF-8'
-    t = s.encode              # => "Ruby™"
-    t.encoding                # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
-
-With only argument +dst_encoding+ given, uses that encoding:
-
-  s = "Ruby\x99".force_encoding('Windows-1252')
-  s.encoding            # => #<Encoding:Windows-1252>
-  t = s.encode('UTF-8') # => "Ruby™"
-  t.encoding            # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
-
-With arguments +dst_encoding+ and +src_encoding+ given,
-interprets +self+ using +src_encoding+, encodes the new string using +dst_encoding+:
-
-  s = "Ruby\x99"
-  t = s.encode('UTF-8', 'Windows-1252') # => "Ruby™"
-  t.encoding                            # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
-
-Optional keyword arguments +enc_opts+ specify encoding options;
-see {Encoding Options}[rdoc-ref:encodings.rdoc@Encoding+Options].
-
-Please note that, unless <code>invalid: :replace</code> option is
-given, conversion from an encoding +enc+ to the same encoding +enc+
-(independent of whether +enc+ is given explicitly or implicitly) is a
-no-op, i.e. the string is simply copied without any changes, and no
-exceptions are raised, even if there are invalid bytes.
