Ah! Good point!  Perhaps you are right.

But, I don't understand the reason of calling
make_pure_string always with the last arg multibyte as 0.
It isn't consistent with the case of Vpurify_flag is nil
(letting make_string determine the multibyteness).

Richard, don't you remember anything?  It seems that this
part was lastly modified by you about 10 years ago.
