Re: GNU Emacs 22.0.50 fails to find ä in different ISO Latin encodings

[Richard Stallman]

    I don't really care one way or another, but Peter (Dyballa) suggests
    that it would be more user-friendly if non-ASCII characters
    entered/searched-for via C-q <code> used a standard like unicode to
    interpret <code>, rather than Emacs internal character numbers as it
    does now.

    [In Emacs 23, of course, Emacs internal character numbers will _be_
    unicode, so the distinction will go away.]

Let's leave it alone for now.
