NOTES
Due to size concerns, "GB 18030" (an extension to "GBK") is distributed
separately on CPAN, under the name Encode::HanExtra. That module also
contains extra Taiwan-based encodings.

BUGS
When you see "charset=gb2312" on mails and web pages, they really mean
"euc-cn" encodings. To fix that, "gb2312" is aliased to "euc-cn". Use
"gb2312-raw" when you really mean it.
The ASCII region (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even
though this conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium.
