It might be (almost) okay; it's certainly no worse than what we have
now ;-)

It could be argued that find-coding-systems-region is mostly called
when we output text.  If that's so, in many cases the appropriate
coding tables would be already loaded, when that text was decoded
during input.

The alternative would be to load all the coding systems befor (or
inside) find-coding-systems-region, which would be wrong, to say the
least.
