    What does this mean?  Is `after-insert-file-functions' obsolete without
    being declared as such?

It is not obsolete.  What I am saying is that normally the only
element of after-insert-file-functions is
after-insert-file-set-buffer-file-coding-system.

If you add other elements, you can choose where to put them.

    As I said, the coding system is determined not only after some functions
    in this hook, but also after the format-decode functions.

I think I am totally lost now.
