    Yes.  On reading and writing iso-2022 files, Emacs-unicode
    may designate different charsets.  I still can't find a time
    to fix it.

What exactly is the nature of the problem?  "Clobber" usually means
"destroy or ruin"; however, your statement seems to say it would alter
the file but the altered file would still represent the correct
characters.  Which one is it?
