It would be nice, however:

1. Ruby also recognizes Vim style magic comment, such as
   "encoding=utf-8", not only Emacs style.

2. we need ruby-encoding-map because of the difference between
   Ruby's encoding names list and Emacses one.  For instance,
   ruby-mode.el uses CP932 instead of Shift_JIS, since pure
   Shift_JIS is hardly used actually.
