Those who have this statement get nonsense, since
set-language-environment takes a string as an argument.

set-language-environment is an interactive compiled Lisp function in 
`mule-cmds.el'.
It is bound to C-x RET l.
(set-language-environment LANGUAGE-NAME)

Set up multi-lingual environment for using LANGUAGE-NAME.
This sets the coding system priority and the default input method
and sometimes other things.  LANGUAGE-NAME should be a string
which is the name of a language environment.  For example, "Latin-1"
specifies the character set for the major languages of Western Europe.
