If alphanumeric is False, then the name will be exactly as the authority says. For example,
call | result |
|---|---|
authoritativeName( "epsg", "2065", False) | "S-JTSK (Ferro) / Krovak" |
authoritativeName( "epsg", "2056", False) | "CH1903+ / LV95" |

Otherwise, if alphanumeric is True, the result will be modified to consist of only alphanumeric characters (including underscores). Any sequence of other characters will be replaced by one underscore, except that a slash will be replaced by two underscores, and that a plus character will be replace by the string plus. Finally, leading and trailing underscores will be removed.
