Yes, but deciding exactly how they should work is not that
straight forward.  For instance, how the command
prefer-coding-system should work when invoked in a buffer
for which you locally changed the language environment?
Should it change the preference globally, or for the current
buffer only, or for all buffers that have the same language
environment?
