Very interesting. So this function was not in 21.3, despite mule being
absorbed into emacs. Coding in iso-2022-jp was more prevalent and utf
was not required before this or what? I have been using emacs 21.3
with japanese encoding for years now. Is this issue part of the
argument between utf supporters and those who disagree with the idea?
