For example, there could be aliases for iso-8859-1, but the user shouldn't have to manually list all aliases to "override" into windows-1252. If the user wants to override us-ascii to something else he'd have to manually add mappings for all the us-ascii aliases. I think it'd be cleaner (in terms of semantics, maybe not patch size) to keep "override alist" and "alias alist" separate. -- Karl 2007-03-20 00:43
