IIUC this is needed because `(en|de)code-coding-string` is not supposed
to touch the match-data, right?
If so, I think we should do two things:
1- document that `(en|de)code-coding-string` preserve the match-data.
2- document in `define-coding-system` that the pre/post-conversion
functions should preserve the match-data.
WDYT?

Very reasonable; now done on master.
We could perhaps say the same thing about {en,de}code-coding-region but I didn't do that in this change.

`(en|de)code-coding-region` run various other (buffer-modification)
hooks, so I don't think anyone currently relies on them preserving the
match-data (and it would be a wrong assumption), also because those
function can change buffer positions making the match-data invalid even
if it's not modified. So I don't see any need to declare that those
functions preserve the match-data.
