I've just noticed this variable:
------------------------------------------------------------
last-coding-system-specified's value is iso-2022-jp
Documentation:
Most recent coding system explicitly specified by the user when asked.
This variable is set whenever Emacs asks the user which coding system
to use in order to write a file. If you set it to nil explicitly,
then call `write-region', then afterward this variable will be non-nil
only if the user was explicitly asked and specified a coding system.
Defined in `international/mule-cmds'.
------------------------------------------------------------
But, it seems that it's not used by any code. What is the
purpose of this variable?
This is the only changelog for this variable.

* startup.el (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path):
Ignore subdirectories whose names start with nonalphanumeric
or that have a file called .nosearch.
* international/mule-cmds.el (last-coding-system-specified): New var.
(select-safe-coding-system): Set var if user specifies a coding system.

I don't remember why I added last-coding-system-specified.

As it is not mentioned in etc/NEWS, I think we can delete
it. Shall I delete it?
The only possibility I can think of is that it was
introduced for some external package that has to know what a
user specified explicitly. But, I don't no how to utilize
such information.
