I'm okay with mentioning this if it is done in a way that makes
absolutely cristal clear that it is not an alias. So what e.g.
about (in the Additional Information section): "This charset
is also known as Microsoft Code Page 1252 (or cp1252 for short;
this is NOT an alias)."

We do not want to have more aliases than necessary (ideally zero).
