Is it possible to make an
    availableEncodings :: IO [(String, TextEncoding)]
?

Also, mkTextEncoding says that it throws an isDoesNotExistError if the
named encoding doesn't exist, but the code in base at least looks like
it throws InvalidArgument on Windows, and nothing on other platforms.
Perhaps it's different in your tree, though.


Thanks
