I think the existence of 8-bit characters in a buffer itself
is a big problem for a beginner, and we can't help him that
much by anything other than deleting all of them or
converting them to something like "<0xXX>".
By the way, I think a beginner won't use or face with
iso-2022-7bit. I believe he has no idea about what is
iso-2022-7bit.
