We have switched to a character representation specially designed for
Emacs. Rather than forcing all the widely used scripts artificially
-into alignment, like Unicode does, Emacs treats them all equally,
-giving each one a place in the space of character codes. Thus,
-scripts do not need to fight over characters used in each one of them,
-as each has its own variant, and they all are different as far as
-Emacs is concerned. For example, there's a Latin-1 c-cedilla
-character, and there's a Latin-2 c-cedilla; searching a buffer for the
-Latin-1 variant will only find that variant, but not the others. This
-design allows us to get rid of a confusing situation in Emacs 23,
-whereby a character can simultaneously belong to any number of
-charsets.
