I'm not sure about others, but 'cyrillic' is a quite ambigous alias,
because it can denote many slavic languages: Russian, Ukranian,
Bulgarian, Serbian are few examples, so I believe it should be excluded
from the list of synomyms.

... and Karel can you change these so they are consistent with
others:

to

koi8r_to_utf(unsigned char *iso, unsigned char *utf, int len)
^^^^^
{
 local_to_utf(iso, utf, LUmapKOI8R, sizeof(LUmapKOI8R) / sizeof(pg_local_to_utf), PG_KOI8R, len);
}                            ^^^^^              ^^^^^                                ^^^^^

win1251_to_utf(unsigned char *iso, unsigned char *utf, int len)
^^^^^^^
{
  local_to_utf(iso, utf, LUmapWIN1251, sizeof(LUmapWIN1251) / sizeof(pg_local_to_utf), PG_WIN1251, len);
