Then, how about implementing a coding system slightly
different from `undecided'.  The differences are:

(1) On reading, if a file contains 8-bit bytes and they are
    all valid UTF-8 sequences, detect the source as utf-8
    regardless of the currrent coding priorities.

(2) On writing, if a buffer contains non-ASCII characters,
    encode the buffer contents by utf-8.

How to name it?  Just `undecided-utf-8'?
