🐛 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.
