I hope not, because I've basically used your customization hooks or
similar ones and done the sort of things you'd talked about at some
time!

I didn't expect it to do anything sensible with unibyte, but if
there's an easy to improve it, that would be fine.

Yes.  I'm not sure that should change, but the relevant primitives
could now use `translation-table-for-input'.  It wasn't the sort of
thing I could control in user-level customization anyway, without
kludging it with a post-command hook.

What would be correct?  Is general Unicode text any different to, say,
JISX-based Japanese in that respect?
