	(I’ve suspected something like that, but didn’t check.)

	Please consider the revised patch MIMEd.

	* lisp/descr-text.el (describe-char): Show the exact C-x 8 RET
	invocation instead of a template.  (Bug#20522)

	It was also requested in bug#20499 that a specific C-x 8
	(iso-transl) sequence is shown.  Yet I believe that deserves a
	separate patch.
