    I don't see why you'd think so.  Could you expand?

If Lisp files get executed and compiled in different ways
according to the user's settings, this is unreliability of a
very bad kind.

Handa says that telling people "don't use utf-8" solves the problem.
If that is a good solution, I think the problem is solved.
Does everyone agree that that solution works?
