By the way, for that, we must pay attention to
find-coding-systems-region. Without loading a coding
system, it can't find out that coding system is safe or not.
Is it ok that find-coding-systems-region won't return such
coding systems that are not yet loaded?
Is it possible to identify just a part of the coding system info
which is sufficient for find-coding-systems-region, have that part
always loaded, and autoload the rest?
It might be (almost) okay; it's certainly no worse than what we have
now ;-)
It could indeed be worse. If this information currently is always
loaded, then currently find-coding-systems-region always can handle
all coding systems. Making it fail to handle some coding systems
COULD make it worse.
It could be argued that find-coding-systems-region is mostly called
when we output text. If that's so, in many cases the appropriate
coding tables would be already loaded, when that text was decoded
during input.
This might be a valid argument.
