I have now some time for implement this my suggestion. Or is better
let down this for 7.2? You are right that it's trivial :-)

Note: My motivate for this is that I have some multi-language DB
with Web interface and for current version of PG I must maintain
separate table for transformation "standard" names to PG encoding
names and vice-versa:-)

Well, I try send some patch.
