I agree with François that it's a mess. It don't really blame the
documentation -- it's more the design that's hard to understand and
use, i.e. the multibyte vs. unibyte distinction and character-set
vs. coding-system vs. mime-charset.
Also, stuff like CCL and MULE isn't particularly well documented.
