For user's convenience, we currently have two choices;
adding alias "utf8", or improving coding-system completion
(as proposed by "Stephen J. Turnbull" <address@hidden>).

To decide which way is better, whether "utf8" is an
authorized name or not can be a good guide.  If it's an
authorized name, adding alias is good, if not, solving by
more intelligent completion is good.
