If one can't depend on the order of evaluation, the the source encoding
has to become a pragma that is preprocessed.

The reader could probably preprocess the file looking for where 
the text "coding: XXXXX" appears within a comment in the top dozen
lines of a source code file. Or perhaps a line that is explicitly
";;;; #pragma coding: XXXXX" in the top few lines of a file.
