encoding: use s.decode to trigger UnicodeDecodeError

When calling encode on a str, the string is first decoded using the
default encoding and then encoded. So

  s.encode('ascii') == s.decode().encode('ascii')

We don't care about the encode step here -- we're just after the
UnicodeDecodeError raised by decode if it finds a non-ASCII character.

This way is also marginally faster since it saves the construction of
the extra str object.
