If we put :supplementary-p t to tis620-2533, M-x list-character-sets
lists that charset under "Supplementary Character Sets" section, which
will surprise tis620-2533 users (I think there are still many).

And, anyway, that change won't change the behavior of char-charset used
by describe-char.  I have not yet read all mails in this thread, but if
the problem is that describe-char does not show eight-bit as a charset
of eight-bit characters, perhaps the best way is to modify describe-char
as this.
