Yeah of course. I was thinking that what we do is that if key is nls=
we change key to iocharset, print deprecated and then send it to driver
parser as usual. This way driver parser will never know that user
specifie nls= because it just get iocharset. But this is probebly too
fancy way to think simple problem. Just idea.
