You might as well remove this FIXME...
Also, do we need a corresponding ASCII encoder?

A couple nits about the implementation: it doesn't really follow the
current coding standard.  Also, having a table for the identity
function seems a little excessive, but really I don't care much.

One bigger problem is that, from what I recall, the JDK treats ASCII
just like 8859-1 -- and that Java programs rely on this.  Perhaps the
alias really is the best thing to do... ?
