Yes, functionally it's no different than using 'cp65001' as an alias. That
said, the CRT special cases 65001 as "utf8":
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, '')
'English_United Kingdom.utf8'
>>> crt_locale = ctypes.CDLL('api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0', use_errno=True)
>>> crt_locale.___lc_codepage_func()
65001
So the suggested change makes the locale module internally consistent on
Windows and more transparent for anyone who doesn't know off the top of their
head that "cp65001" is just UTF-8.
