I've been told that the reason `utf-translate-cjk-mode' is disabled by
default is that it consumes some non-trivial amount of memory (and
loading time, unless it's dumped I guess).

I wonder if emacs could use some sort of automatic mechanism to turn it
on when required (when it detects a CJK utf character)?  Alternatively
(a poorer solution) would be to turn it on by default in certain language
environments and/or locales.
