Subject: Another last-minute Ruby 1.9 question

Here's another last-minute question, probably for Matz or Nobu...

Are the encoding supported by transcode.c going to be merged with the 
encodings in the enc/ directory?  Or will only iso-8859-1 be fully 
supported in 1.9.1?  (Currently the encoding method of the string 
returned by encode("iso-8859-15") returns ASCII")

Also, will the encode() method support Japanese encodings in 1.9.1, or 
only the iso-8859 encodings?

If these are not finished in 1.9.1, is it safe to assume that they will 
be fixed in some later 1.9.x release?

Thanks,

	David
