Bug report

Bug description:

str() and decode() do decoding but they have encoding argument as shown below:

class str(object=b'', encoding='utf-8', errors='strict')

bytes.decode(encoding='utf-8', errors='strict')
bytearray.decode(encoding='utf-8', errors='strict')

So, they should have decoding argument as shown below:

class str(object=b'', decoding='utf-8', errors='strict')

bytes.decode(decoding='utf-8', errors='strict')
bytearray.decode(decoding='utf-8', errors='strict')
