   I understand now that utf-8-fragment-on-decoding has no direct effect

   If so, perhaps that should be documented.

When I think about it more carefully, I see that decode-char's
doc string is unambiguous when it says "the result is translated
through the char table `utf-8-translation-table-for-decode'".

For the sake of careless readers like me, could something like this
be added after that sentence?

  (Note that this char table is independent of the translation table
  of the same name which CCL programs use, and it is not affected by
  the user's setting of utf-8-fragment-on-decoding.)
