That makes sense to me. When designing the version of text_view
described in P0244 (https://wg21.link/p0244), I found no use for codecs
in concepts or in interfaces; I specified them in terms of encoders and
decoders. I still delivered encoder and decoder pairs as a codec that
satisfied both encoder and decoder concepts. This seemed to work well,
though I haven't received any specific feedback one way or another.
