The above is from my own code, it's not in Emacs.  If you want the
complete code, it's the interactive spec I use for
set-buffer-file-coding-system, so that completion is first done only on
the applicable coding systems.  But the intent of the patch was just to
show what the code would look like: it would be placed inside a new
`read-coding-system' function.
