As far as I know, there's no system that allows a coding system that does many-to-one decoding for filenames. So, we don't have to care such a case.
I don't understand what you mean here. We must be talking about different things. Say I have two files, one in UTF-8 and one in latin-1. Emacs has only one coding system for file names, say it is latin-1. Now, since Emacs only has one coding system, it assumes there is a one-to-one correspondence between file names and encodings. Clearly this is not the case. In this case there are two separate mappings to map from display string to original file name. That is what I mean with many-to-one. Jan D.
