        BPE-encode a sentence (or multiple sentences).

        Every sequence begins with a beginning-of-sentence (`<s>`) symbol.
        Every sentence ends with an end-of-sentence (`</s>`) and we use an
        extra end-of-sentence (`</s>`) as a separator.

        Example (single sentence): `<s> a b c </s>`
        Example (sentence pair): `<s> d e f </s> </s> 1 2 3 </s>`

        The BPE encoding follows GPT-2. One subtle detail is that the GPT-2 BPE
        requires leading spaces. For example::

            >>> roberta.encode('Hello world').tolist()
            [0, 31414, 232, 2]
            >>> roberta.encode(' world').tolist()
            [0, 232, 2]
            >>> roberta.encode('world').tolist()
            [0, 8331, 2]
