Huh?  Such as what?  I's very unusual to apply a coding-system to a piece of
text that is not within the safe-chars of that coding-system.
I'd say it's *not* user-visible.

I think so.  If you want to allow and deal with non-latin-N chars,
you should use the iso-latin-N-with-esc version of the coding-system.
