I agree.
Regarding testing it, the simplest way is to provide a user variable
which will tell Emacs about the console's mode, and ask users who
don't want the UTF-8 mode to set that variable to that effect. Or
maybe my idea about using terminal-coding-system as an indication of
that could be workable, in which case it's a better alternative.
WDYT?
I can offer help in reviewing the patches and perhaps also writing
some of that, but I cannot test the code, as I don't have a convenient
access to a Linux console where I could run Emacs I build.
TIA
