Right now it applies to CCL programs, but not to decode-char. Is that correct? If so, perhaps that should be documented. When I think about it more carefully, I see that decode-char's doc string is unambiguous when it says "the result is translated through the char table `utf-8-translation-table-for-decode'". For the sake of careless readers like me, could something like this be added after that sentence? (Note that this char table is independent of the translation table of the same name which CCL programs use, and it is not affected by the user's setting of utf-8-fragment-on-decoding.)
