Just an idea, should we check that the second parameter is null or not? Any 
pros and cons of that?
For example should this code be allowed:

var cs = Charset.forName(charsetName, null);
if (cs == null) {
   System.err.println("Used UTF-8 encoding instead of "+charsetName+");
   cs = StandardCharsets.UTF_8;
}

Or something like this should be forced:

var cs = Charset.forName(charsetName, fallback);
if (cs == fallback) {
   System.err.println("Used UTF-8 encoding instead of "+charsetName+");
}

I have no preference.
