Yes, it works because it overrides the translation table
created by unify-8859-on-decoding-mode.
But, it results in that a Latin-2 char read by iso-2022-7bit
is different from what read by iso-latin-2. I don't think
such a change is a good idea.

It will stop unibyte<->multibyte automatic conversion in any
single byte lang. env. (e.g. Latin-X, Greek) except for
Latin-1.
I think unify-8859-on-decoding-mode is still only for those
people who knows the consequence of the command well.
