In-Reply-To: <200301210804.RAA03089@etlken.m17n.org> (message from Kenichi Handa on Tue, 21 Jan 2003 17:04:37 +0900 (JST))
By the way, I think the culprit of the current problem is
this Emacs' doctrine:
Do unibyte<->mutibyte conversion by "MAKE" by default.
Although this doctrine surely works for handling unibyte and
multibyte represenation transparently, it makes Elisp
programmers very very confused.
It is absolutely crucial to make unibyte and multibyte operation
interoperate smoothly for Latin character sets. We did this
so that people who used Emacs for European character sets
would not have trouble.
It is more important to make things easy for non-programmers
than to make it easy for programmers. So don't change this.
