I wouldn't dismiss it.
IIUC, a unibyte buffer should contain raw bytes, while a raw-text
multibyte buffer would contain the same contents, converted to the
internal utf-8 based Emacs representation.
But I confess I'm puzzled why
M-x find-file-binary test.txt <RET>
M-: enable-multibyte-characters <RET> => nil
C-u C-x = ; over ñ
character: (241, #o361, #xf1)
preferred charset: iso-8859-1 (Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1))
code point: 0xF1
syntax: w which means: word
category: j:Japanese l:Latin
buffer code: #xC3 #xB1
file code: #xC3 #xB1 (encoded by coding system no-conversion)
If I'm hopelessly wrong, I'm quite ready to be enlightened (and
perhaps the docs will need work).
