    Kim did you do this change?  I couldn't find mention of it in NEWS (looked
    for "unibyte" and "eight-bit") and don't know how a user can overrule
    this change.

A user could overrule this change by setting up a display table
containing strings like "\\300" to display these codes.  For each
code, the appropriate string.  That ought to work straightforwardly in
unibyte mode.  It should work also in multibyte, if you use the proper
Emacs internal character codes starting with 04200 or so.
