Question: is the variable `enable-character-translation' still used for
anything, or is it obsolete?

AFAICT it's obsolete. No code implements the "feature" (I'm not even
sure what that feature would be), and no code uses it.

Oops, I've forgotten to implement it in coding.c of
emacs-unicode version. Emacs 22 surely payed attention to
that variable. I'm going to implement it if there's no
objection. The change will be quite small.

Since nobody noticed the absence of the feature, it sounds like a great
way to waste time ;-)

Well, nobody _complained_ about its absence ...

That's not a positive argument to delete some feature from
Emacs. To decide to delete some feature, I think we should
have some more strong reason (i.e. keeping the feature is
difficult/impossible, it is found that the feature conflicts
with some other part of Emacs).
Perhaps we don't have enough heavy CJK pretesters who are
playing with various kind of text decoding. I myself used
to set that variable to nil while debugging some coding
system that has decode/encode-translation-table. In Emacs
22, we have many such coding systems, but now we have just
one (eucjp-ms). So, the importance of this variable is
surely small now, but still...
