In the case of filenames, there surely exist the actual file
with those ignored extensions. But, in the case of coding
systems, such an alias as "utf8" doesn't exist. Or do you
still propose to make such an alias as a sencond-class name
in advance? If so, I strongly oppose to it. If we are
going to allow users to type all names that are accepted by
iconv, we must make so many aliases.
I still thinks completing "utf8" to "utf-8" is the best
method. Even for a filename, if there's a file "test-a" and
I type "tes-a TAB", it is expanded to "test-a". So,
changing "utf8" to "utf-8" doesn't look that strange.
