Hello, Dan!
A two-pence question (very quick and probably foolish :-)
What is the marked alias about?
define_alias( qr/^UCS-2LE$/i => '"UTF-16LE"',
qr/^UCS2-le$/i => '"UCS-2"', );
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
define_alias( qr/^UTF-16BE$/i => '"UCS-2"',
All I could understand meant that UCS-2 is BigEndian.
Why is UCS2-le aliased to it then?
Yikes. I thought it was deleted. jhi, Please get rid of them. Now
that all aliases are case insensitive as first documented, the alias
Anton has noted is completely pointless.
