I have now some time for implement this my suggestion. Or is better
let down this for 7.2? You are right that it's trivial :-)
Note: My motivate for this is that I have some multi-language DB      with Web interface and for current version of PG
Imust maintain      separate table for transformation "standard" names to PG encoding      names and vice-versa:-) 
 
Well, I try send some patch.
