>From my previous message:
While it does seem possible to get the default value by specifying a
generic character, there is a strange subtle asymmetry between
_setting_ the default value for, say, ipa, and setting the
corresponding generic character (6272 in this case).
Setting the default value using `set-char-table-default' does _not_
override non-nil pre-existing values in the charset _except_ for the
generic character itself. Setting the generic character itself
overrides the entire charset. Is this intentional? If yes, I will
clearly document it (because it is confusing).
On second thought, this _must_ be intentional, otherwise the function
set-char-table-default would be completely unnecessary. I will just
document the fact.
Sincerely,
Luc.
