I wouldn't trust this table. Microsoft is on record of implementing the
code pages with slight variations compared to other references for some
encodings (in particular the Asian ones). So unless there is an actual
documented need for a certain alias (and preferably a demonstration that
Microsoft's interpretation of the code page is the same as Python's),
I would advise against adding such aliases.
