select from a larger range than ``randrange(10**25)``.
(Originally suggested by Serhiy Storchaka gh-86388.)

* :class:`argparse.ArgumentParser` changed encoding and error handler
for reading arguments from file (e.g. ``fromfile_prefix_chars`` option)
from default text encoding (e.g. :func:`locale.getpreferredencoding(False) <locale.getpreferredencoding>`)
to :term:`filesystem encoding and error handler`.
Argument files should be encoded in UTF-8 instead of ANSI Codepage on Windows
unless :envvar:`PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSFSENCODING` is set.
