    unibyte sequence (hex): 81    81    C0    C0
                            result of conversion    display in multbyte buffer
    string-as-multibyte:    9E A1 81    C0    C0    \201À\300
    string-make-multibyte:  9E A1 9E A1 81 C0 81 C0 \201\201ÀÀ
    string-to-multibyte:    9E A1 9E A1 C0    C0    \201\201\300\300

I think this example should go in the Lisp manual.
Could you add it?

    (1) Reading a process output by raw-text into a multibyte
    buffer does AS conversion.  I think this should do TO
    conversion to be consistent with (3).

That is a strong argument in favor.  Does anyone see any arguments
against this change?
