Can someone see any difference between the value t and 'default', wrt
when/how the 'charset' property of strings is printed?

I think the behavior under the value of nil is actually intended for
'default', and the value of nil is not implemented.  So I think we
should have a change in print_check_string_charset_prop that sets the
PRINT_STRING_UNSAFE_CHARSET_FOUND flag whenever it finds _any_
'charset' property on the string.

Comments?
