I don't understand how this is possible because currently a coding system
should be recognized before mode is chosen:

1. Recognizing Coding Systems
1.1. coding-system-for-read if non-nil
1.2. auto-coding-alist matching a filename
1.3. auto-coding-regexp-alist matching first bytes
1.4. `-*- coding: -*-' tag
1.5. auto-coding-functions (e.g. unicad-universal-charset-detect)
1.6. file-coding-system-alist matching a filename

2. Choosing Modes
2.1. `-*- mode: -*-' tag
2.2. interpreter-mode-alist
2.3. magic-mode-alist
2.4. auto-mode-alist
2.5. magic-fallback-mode-alist
