If we did that, it would make the unfortunate situation, whereby there
are multiple charsets that cover the same characters, even worse.
E.g., in addition to Unicode Cyrillic characters and
cyrillic-iso8859-5 Cyrillic characters, we would also have cp1252
Cyrillic characters.
Repeat after me: "multiple character sets covering the same characters
are BAD."
