If the issue is performance, maybe we should just improve
(en|de)code-coding-string to recognize those few special cases and
redirect them to string-(to|as)-(uni|multi)byte.
Note that is set-unibyte-charset is never called (which should always be
the case now), string-make-foo is identical to string-to-foo.
So the remaining two cases ("to" and "as") work as follows:
"to" = `binary'
"as" = internal CS (i.e. `utf-8-emacs', but was `emacs-mule' before)
Funnily enough we do not have a coding-system `emacs-internal' which
would be `emacs-mule' in Emacs-22 and `utf-8-emacs' in Emacs-23.
I guess we can use
(if (coding-system-p 'utf-8-emacs) 'utf-8-emacs 'emacs-mule)
if we need it.
