// RegisterEncoding may be called by the application to register an encoding.
// The presence of additional encodings will facilitate application usage with
// terminal environments where the I/O subsystem does not support Unicode.
//
// Windows systems use Unicode natively, and do not need any of the encoding
// subsystem when using Windows Console screens.
//
// Please see the Go documentation for golang.org/x/text/encoding -- most of
// the common ones exist already as stock variables.  For example, ISO8859-15
// can be registered using the following code:
//
//   import "golang.org/x/text/encoding/charmap"
//
//     ...
//     RegisterEncoding("ISO8859-15", charmap.ISO8859_15)
//
// Aliases can be registered as well, for example "8859-15" could be an alias
// for "ISO8859-15".
//
// For POSIX systems, the tcell package will check the environment variables
// LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE,  and LANG (in that order) to determine the character set.
// These are expected to have the following pattern:
//
//	 $language[.$codeset[@$variant]
//
// We extract only the $codeset part, which will usually be something like
// UTF-8 or ISO8859-15 or KOI8-R.  Note that if the locale is either "POSIX"
// or "C", then we assume US-ASCII (the POSIX 'portable character set'
// and assume all other characters are somehow invalid.)
//
// Modern POSIX systems and terminal emulators may use UTF-8, and for those
// systems, this API is also unnecessary.  For example, Darwin (MacOS X) and
// modern Linux running modern xterm generally will out of the box without
// any of this.  Use of UTF-8 is recommended when possible, as it saves
// quite a lot processing overhead.
//
// Note that some encodings are quite large (for example GB18030 which is a
// superset of Unicode) and so the application size can be expected ot
// increase quite a bit as each encoding is added.  The East Asian encodings
// have been seen to add 100-200K per encoding to the application size.

// EncodingFallback describes how the system behavees when the locale
// requires a character set that we do not support.  The system always

// RegisterEncoding API.  (A large group of nearly all of them can be
// added using the RegisterAll function in the encoding sub package.)
