From Asian point of view, it is almost unacceptable to exclude all
ISO-2022-* charsets which use ESC as an escape character.
It is not historic, is better than 8-bit charsets in some context
(because these explicitly declare charset using ISO-2022 defined sequences),
and is ASCII upper-compatible by the above definition.
