How does this use of multiple language environments work in practice? I mean, the language environment setting is global, so how does it interact with the various pre-existing buffers when you switch? What is changed between those environments other than the preferred coding system ? Is this arrangement natural, convenient, and intuitive, or is it more like a work around for lack of other forms of configurations (such as a way to specify preferred coding system based on mount-points, for example) ?
