Isn't the 3.6-3.10 ordering of search_function() and _alias_mbcs() correct as a fallback? In this case, Python doesn't support a cross-platform encoding for the code page. That's why the old implementation of test_mbcs_alias() mocked _winapi.GetACP() to return 123 and then checked that looking up 'cp123' returned the "mbcs" codec.

I'd actually prefer to extend this by implementing _winapi.GetOEMCP() and using "oem" as a fallback for that case.
