Hi.
Say that when opening an existing file I want to try first with iso-latin-1
and if this fails try windows-1252. How does one tell Emacs to do that? If
I do
(set-coding-system-priority 'windows-1252)
(set-coding-system-priority 'latin-1)
only the latter shows up in the list shown by M-x describe-coding-system.
Thanks.

Since windows-1252 is a superset of latin-1, why does this make sense?

Good question. I guess it doesn't make sense.
