Description
Currently you request `-e latin1` but it gets displayed as `[windows-1252]`.
The output should reflect the input, unless there's a good reason not to.
We should also consider whether we want to allow multiple aliases of the same encoding.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the mismatch with the command-line `-e latin1` input and trace how the encoding name is parsed and rendered in the output. Check how aliases are handled and whether multiple aliases for one encoding are supported. Done means the output behavior for the requested name is defined and covered by a suitable test.
