[issue46947] unicodedata.name gives ValueError for control characters

[Joe Cool]

My recommendation would be to add a keyword parameter, defaulting to False, to name(), something like give_full_alias, or maybe errors=“give_full_alias” like the IO functions.

In the meantime, as the author of perllib, I had to make my own dict to return to the user the same thing perl does, which is the full alias for these.
