BUGS
When you see "charset=ks_c_5601-1987" on mails and web pages, they really mean ``cp949'' encodings. To fix that, the following aliases are set;
qr/(?:x-)?uhc$/i => '"cp949"' qr/(?:x-)?windows-949$/i => '"cp949"' qr/ks_c_5601-1987$/i => '"cp949"'
The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium.
