Hi Eli,
Thanks for your comment.

That's one of the details I delayed until I know whether we want this
for inclusion. My first version used `insert-file-contents-literally'
but I ran into problems, and calling `debug' crashed Emacs, so I gave up
for the moment. Personally, I don't care that much because it doesn't
make a big speed difference, but yes, I know it's not absolutely
correct, and I would care about this.
Regards,
Michael.
