This code is part of the implementation of the feature accessible via
translation-table-for-input, so removing it would amount to removing
the feature.
There is no alternative to this feature, BTW. The only use I've ever
seen for it, was the char-unification we did in Emacs-22, but in
Emacs-23 we do this unification differently, which is why it's obsolete.
These `obsolete' warnings are a general problem: we have no way to say
"yes, I know this variable is obsolete, but this is the implementation
rather than a use of the feature". The closest we have is
with-no-warnings, which is a rather blunt tool.
