I think the message is useless.  If we want to make it clear, then as
Stephen suggests we should make TAB expand "utf8" to "utf-8", and make
RET do the expansion and request confirmation.

But to tell you the truth, that would be more work because it's not
a standard form of completion.  Tho I guess we could come up with
a special completion-style for it.
