Is there ever a need to have more than one conversion for a given
combination of encodings? And if I have more than one combination
registered, which one is used by the implicit server/client conversion?

Also, if my server encoding is A and my client encoding is B, and I do

SELECT convert('some string' using a_to_c); -- not B

or even

SELECT convert('some string' using e_to_f);

this would surely lead to bogus results? What's the use of all this?
