emacs -Q
M-x load-library isearch.el
C-h f isearch-forward
In buffer *Help*: C-x C-w foo.txt
You get a coding-system warning. I tried saving it as utf-8 and as raw
text.
In both cases, when I open that file in a new Emacs session, I see octal
escapes where there were curly quotes.
Why were there curly quotes? Because `C-h f' produces curly quotes.
This is a regression - no such problem exists with Emacs 24.5 (or prior).
In order to produce a reasonable, readable file from the *Help* buffer
that I attached to the following mail message to emacs-devel@gnu.org,
I had to resort to using Emacs 24.5:

(BTW, it is apparently *not* the case, in spite of what is stated at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-10/index.html, that
the mailing list archive is updated every 30 minutes. Far from it,
it seems. That's why I didn't provide a URL to the emacs-devel post.
Got tired after 1/2 hour of waiting for it to show up.)
