The problem with windows-1252 is that all files are valid in that
coding-system. So it's OK if there's a really high chance of
encountering such files, but otherwise it leads to many misdetections.

Maybe we could try that. But I really dislike adding a user-prompt in
the middle of some operation that might be performed as part of
something "unrelated". And indeed the actual change may need to give
a lot more information, mostly displaying the buffer without which the
user cannot make a good guess.
