I every once in a while receive email (or see newsposts) with windows-1256
encoding (i.e. an arabic encoding) because of brain-dead software which
selects windows-1256 instead of some latin-1 variant (typically those
messages contain text with a few é, which happen to also exist in
window-1256).

So those autoloads would indeed be very helpful,
