        New page documenting CP 1252
            CP 1252 is probably one of the most used Windows Code Pages so
            let's add a page for it alongside with the already provided
            CP 1251 page.

            Table generated from /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/CP1252.

armscii-8.7
    Marko Myllynen
        Charset pages unification, minor cleanups

ascii.7
    Marko Myllynen
        Charset pages unification, minor cleanups
            This and [the related *.7] patches will provide unification of
            charset pages, minor cleanups, and some unifying cosmetic
            changes. References are adjusted so that all pages include
            a reference to charsets(7), which contains a description of
            these sets, stray comments are removed, some obsolete
            statements (like ISO 8859-1 being the de-facto ASCII
            replacement) are removed, and some minor reformatting
            to minimize diff's between the pages are done.

            The actual substance, the character tables, remain unchanged.

            This series changes the following pages (under man7): ascii,
            armscii, cp1251, koi8-r, koi8-u, and all of iso_8859-*.
