maybe, in any case, if so, i will run into it and repair it, for the momen 
tuse the working versions

sure, but then forget about the berry naming and go the ec-* or 8r-* or 
t2a-* way since then at least you *know* what the encodings involved are. 
The mapping to berry is just there for good old times sake and i'm not 
going to extend that list of names myself; we should do it in such a way 
that users kind of understand what is happening.
