This patch is related to bug #995522.

Reference Manual recommends that encoding 
declarations match the pattern
  "coding[=:]\s*([\w-_.]+)"
But this pattern has two problems.

1. - mark needs to be escaped or placed as the first 
character.
   (bug #995522)
2. \w is same as [a-zA-Z0-9_], so there's no need to 
include _ in [].

Then the pattern will become
  coding[=:]\s*([-\w.]+)

The patch is for PEP-0263 and Python Reference Manual.

Thanks.
