Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

viscii is an encoding for the Vietnamese language. Support for it is included in the email charset list but it is not supported by codecs. The encoding spec can be found in rfc1456.

viscii can be found in the IANA character sets list.

import codecs
codecs.lookup('viscii')
# LookupError: unknown encoding: viscii
