Re: Emacs-diffs Digest, Vol 2, Issue 28

[Richard Stallman]

    ! The string argument is normally a multibyte string, except:
    ! - if the process' input coding system is no-conversion or raw-text,
    !   it is a unibyte string (the non-converted input), or else

Is this really the right way for it to work?
Should the choice of unibyte or multibyte string
be tied in this way to the choice of coding system?

If you want multibyte strings "without decoding", would emacs-mule
give you that?

Handa and Eli, what do you think?
