I do not intend to change the code (other than in my own local Emacs build,
obviously), but whether or not unibyte is deprecated is important when
deciding how to change the manual.
I think the concept of unibyte and multibyte thingies should be kept within
the Elisp manual, but should be avoided when possible in the Emacs manual.
