If I understand what's being talked about, I agree. Normally the
first problematic character tells me what's up.

I'm sorry if that was wrong. I thought it was supposed to have been
installed months ago, and I was trying to clear out the Mule changes
I've had hanging around after rms was on about it. I thought that was
all stuff you approved of, or `obviously right'.

[It seemed fast enough for that use since it's only executed
occasionally, when there's actually a problem. It was probably
developed on a P133.]
By the way, aborting in select-safe-coding-system can have bad effects
when you're using VC. As far as I remember, it actually loses your
edits in some circumstance. I haven't had time to look at the
problem.
