Then a user can't recover that original setting when he once
switch to, e.g., Latin-1. Just switching back to Japanese
can't setup coding systems for utf8.
Another problem is the case of LANG=zh_CN.utf8. Currently
we don't have Chinese lang. env. We only have Chinese-GB,
Chinese-EUC-TW, Chinese-BIG5, Chinese-CNS. Which one to
use?
