I'm uneasy with that change, because there are other places that use a
cons cell as the second argument to find-operation-coding-system, and
I'm not sure what you propose is good for them.  For example, mule.el
defines a utility function decode-coding-inserted-region that also
uses a cons cell.  (This utility function is currently used in
jka-compr.el, pcvs.el and url-handlers.el.)  Both it and its users are
sufficiently complex that I couldn't easily decide whether the change
you suggest will DTRT for them.  Can you help me understand that?

That's good to hear.  I hope that insert-file-contents and
write-region will be implemented on top of these new primitives, or at
least that they all will use the same subroutines to encode/decode
text and set the buffer's file coding system, because currently
tar-mode and arc-mode mimic those parts of insert-file-contents (in
two subtly different ways).
