Then every implementation of isprint() is wrong :-). Character
128-159 is not printable, I think. Nor is the non-printable part
that is in the ASCII subset.

Emacs would have to be able to read minds to do this correctly.
It is possible to make a buffer contain characters that looks fine
when viewed as UTF-8, but Emacs can not know if the user actually
wanted this to be latin-1. It is just an interpretation of how
octets shall be viewed. That is why I would like to say to
dired "Show me these file names interpreted as UTF-8" and then
later "show me these file names interpreted as latin-1", and also
be able to operate on the files.
