Sorry Tatsuo, but I have again question :-)

Why is here hole between encoding numbers?

#define KOI8 16 /* KOI8-R/U */
#define WIN 17 /* windows-1251 */
#define ALT 18 /* Alternativny Variant */

19..31 ?

#define SJIS 32 /* Shift JIS */
#define BIG5 33 /* Big5 */
#define WIN1250 34 /* windows-1250 */

It's trouble create arrays with encoding stuff, like:

pg_encoding_conv_tbl[ ALT ]->to_mic
pg_encoding_conv_tbl[ SJIS ]->to_mic

Has this hole between 19..31 some effect?
