Re: lisp/ChangeLog coding system

[Richard Stallman]

    I think we should change save-buffer to pay attention to the coding: 
    cookie.

It is supposed to do that indirectly because buffer-file-coding-system
should get set initially based on the `coding:' specification.
If something legitimately sets buffer-file-coding-system after that,
I think it ought to be obeyed, not ignored.  Don't you?

The question for me is, what changed buffer-file-coding-system to
latin-1?
