And yes, this is in disagreement to iconv and hc's conventions, in
which gb2312 is an alias to euc-cn, and the raw gb2312 is not
directly accessible:

The above 'this' means 'status quo', not 'my suggestion'. Sorry
for the ambiguity.

  - Make a 'gb2312-raw' to point to 'gb2312.enc'.

.... possibly aliased to 'gb2312-1980', 'gb2312-x11', or other names.
