Re: [PATCH] Unicode Lisp reader escapes

[Richard Stallman]

    I guess, you have a similar problem when the source file is encoded in
    either ISO 8859-5 or ISO 8859-7 (btw., what about Hewbrew, Arabic and
    Thai?). Unless I am much mistaken, the encoding of the characters in
    the .elc file would also depend on the value of
    `utf-fragment-on-decoding'.

Are you talking about how the compiler would write the .elc file?
Or are you talking about how the .elc file would be interpreted?

If it is the latter, I don't think so.  Fload will disregard this
variable because Fload does not do decoding in the usual way.

The compiler should output the file in the representation that
Fload will read, and it should do so by binding any relevant variables.
