Is there a simple user-level API for
"I have a string that might be an encoding name,
give me the canonical name"
e.g.
Encode::foobar('latin1') eq 'iso8859-1'
If so (and I think there should be), Encode::Alias should probably tell
about it, not just about *defining* aliases.
It is already possible via
find_encoding("latin1")->name eq 'iso-8859-1';
but it's much more intuitive to add an API. Any good name for it?
Encode::Alias::resolve_alias(), to go with define_alias()?
Will be part of 1.32 that will be released soon.
