This sounds like a better plan than my original patch.

I'm reading up on some multibyte stuff, and will post a new patch
soon.  Ideally Emacs would be able to "get it right" 100% of the time,
instead of having a mostly-correct heuristic; will see if this is
possible.

Definitely won't commit it without asking first, thanks for reminding
me about the feature freeze.  It's no big deal if it doesn't make it
into this release, IMHO.
