There are two changes:
1 - elimination of conditionals on (interactive-p). Since the function
is not interactive any more, this always returns nil anyway.
Should be about as safe as it gets.
2 - Calling (set-buffer-multibyte nil) on existing buffers means that
those buffers who had latin-1 chars in them now have \201,
which is clearly wrong. This was discussed a while back when someone
complained about it (he had (desktop-load) before
(standard-display-european) in his .emacs so all his desktop-loaded
files had \201 in them) and the conclusion was that it wasn't worth
it to try and be clever. I think the change for accepted for 21.1
but I forgot to install it.
