You know ruby can't support all the encodings in the world.
But we want to support many useful encodings.

I didn't know mule-utf-8 before this time, and I know only the name.
By some googled information, mule-utf-8 seems different from UTF-8.
(if a encoding equals UTF-8, add the alias is easy)
If ruby should support the encoding, we want more information about its
byte structure.
