Hello Autrijus! Hello, developers!
<DISCLAIMER>
I'm sorry not to know any of the CJK languages.. The only thing
I have to help me understand encodings currently
are the IANA registry and RFC 1345..
And some pages on the internet..
So please excuse me if I will be talking nonsense! :-)
</DISCLAIMER>
AUTRIJUS> - Alias /gb-?2312/i to 'euc-cn'.
So much as my opinion could be worth anything..
To me it looks perfectly sensible
as the following lines from the IANA Registry
Name: GB2312 (preferred MIME name)
....
20-7E = one byte ASCII
A1-FE = two byte PRC Kanji
I do recognize it as EUC-CN.
Am I right?
(The funny thing is IANA registry does not have
EUC-CN. So it has it, but under the GB2312 name?)
AUTRIJUS> - Make a 'gb2312-raw' to point to 'gb2312.enc'.
AUTRIJUS> .... possibly aliased to 'gb2312-1980', 'gb2312-x11',
AUTRIJUS> or other names.
Autrijus, will you allow me to advocate
GB_2312-80
for the 7-bit GB 2312?
This is the name used both in the IANA registry and rfc 1345.
People familiar with these documents will feel like they 'understand
what is happening then' :-)
My heartiest regards, Anton
P.S.
So what is going to happen is
find_encoding('GB_2312-80')->name() --> 'gb2312'
find_encoding('gb2312')->name() --> 'euc-cn'
Oh, my..
Maybe I'm an egoist. I do not use ->name(). So for
me 'let it be' for now... At least find_encoding will
find what is expected..
I do not know anything about this Tcl interoperation
issues... how much is it possible to rename the .enc?
