As mentioned in the past, I think `no-conversion' should be killed
because it's confusing. As for the problem at hand, utf-8-emacs-unix is
what we want to use.

I believe we do, because it's called ediff-buffers. There's ediff-files
for when you want to compare the files.

That would be fine, indeed.
