Hi Eli,

I tried M-x set-buffer-coding-system RET iso-8859-1 RET and it seems to
work.  I also had to set read-quoted-char-radix to 10 to be able to use
codepoints in the form that I know them ;-).

The trick here is that iso-8859-1 uses the same codepoints as Unicode,
but encodes them directly as bytes.

I think this should work with the no-conversion/binary coding system,
but it doesn't.  I do not know if the current behaviour of
no-conversion/binary is useful to somebody.
