Some q:s about find-file-not-found-set-buffer-file-coding-system

[Lennart Borgman <lennart.borgman.073@student.lu.se>]

I believe this function is w32 specific?

1) In the beginning of this function there is a statement

    (set-buffer (current-buffer))

What does this do?

2) This function is only used in the (obsolete) hook 
`find-file-not-found-hooks'. The functions added to this non-normal hook 
is run until one of the functions return non-nil. I believe this 
function does not reflect this. Should it not do that?

3) This function sets buffer-file-coding-system eol type based on 
untranslated-file-p only (avoiding this if coding-system-for-read or 
inhibit-eol-conversion is set). Is there a way to set this based on the 
file name? Otherwise, could this be added?

4) In addition to setting buffer-file-coding-system it sets 
buffer-file-type. That actually breaks the return value in 2 above since 
it is done last. It is also a bit surprising.

5) buffer-file-type is in my opinion a not very good name. Maybe 
buffer-file-binary would be easier to understand? The variable is used 
in very few places in Emacs.
