Yes, functionally it's no different than using 'cp65001' as an alias. That said, the CRT special cases 65001 as "utf8":

    >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, '')
    'English_United Kingdom.utf8'
    >>> crt_locale = ctypes.CDLL('api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0', use_errno=True)
    >>> crt_locale.___lc_codepage_func()
    65001

So the suggested change makes the locale module internally consistent on Windows and more transparent for anyone who doesn't know off the top of their head that "cp65001" is just UTF-8.
