For that, we must inhibit to set file-name-coding-system to
such a coding system that will do many-to-one decoding
(e.g. iso-2022-jp).  But, we don't have a general mechanism
to inhibit a symbol to be bound to a specific value.

As far as I know, there's no system that allows a coding
system that does many-to-one decoding for filenames.  So, we
don't have to care such a case.
