Perhaps I should have been clearer and I'm not sure there is anything else to
be done that isn't already been done. In the past, I have encountered packages
which have made assumptions regarding character sets and encodings. There have
been reports in this group and other lists/groups of people having problems
with things like search/replace that appear specific to the coding system being
used etc. I should clarify that most, if not all, the packages I've encountered
with tese sorts of problems have not been packages that are part of GNU Emacs,
but rather add-on packatges written by others and possibly not actively
maintained.
My point wasn't that things are not being done as well as they could, but
merely that if you are using a development branch that is working on something
as fundamental as the character encoding support, it is likely there are going
to be issues with some packages.
