I'd like to revert the following change (revno 112925):
2013-06-11 Stefan Monnier <address@hidden>
* international/mule-conf.el (file-coding-system-alist): Use utf-8 as
default for Elisp files.
By my recent changes for tuning up ASCII and UTF-8 file
reading, the speed for reading a UTF-8 file is almost the
same in the following cases:
* the file has coding: utf-8; tag
* find-operation-coding-system returns utf-8 for the file
(the current case of *.el files)
* the file has no coding tag and utf-8 is the most preferred
coding system
* the file has no coding tag and utf-8 is the most preferred
coding system among 8-bit encoding (which means that such
7-bit coding systems as iso-2022-jp may be more preferred)
So, the above change does not improve the performance that
much.
In addition, as iso-2022-jp and iso-2022-7bit have been the
most correctly detected coding systems in any environments,
there are many packages that uses them for *.el files (at
least in Japan). Now many of them doesn't work.
In some sence, the above change is a regression because it
disables Emacs' facility to automatically decode ISO 2022
based 7-bit encodings, and we should notify users about such
a change in advance, for instance, by showing warnings by
byte-compiler for non-UTF-8 and no-coding-tag *.el files for
a while (perhaps while Emacs' version is 24.*).
