Re: Saving when the coding system can't code all buffer characters

        However, each of them encountered characters it couldn't encode:
          cp1251-unix cannot encode these: x x x x x x x x x ...
          iso-latin-1-unix cannot encode these: y y y y y y y y y ...

    Each one of `x' and `y' is a different character, potentially from
    several different character sets.  How to display information about
    them based on what "C-u C-x =" produces?

My idea is to pick the first character and give more info about it.
To be sure, that is not ALL the information the user might conceivably
want.  He might be more interested in the others characters.  However,
most of the time, the info about ANY one character will be enough to
explain the problem.  Giving this extra info about just one character
(the first) is very likely to be enough.
