I probably should have said explicitly that the end result of all I
described is that the "-hex" command-line argument to `hexl' is
encoded by utf-8-with-signature, and becomes "\357\273\277-hex",
which, of course, utterly confuses `hexl'.
Btw, I doubt that any encoding that uses BOM can ever be appropriate
for encoding command-line arguments. Maybe we should treat them
specially in call-process and its ilk.
