Agreed.  My point was mostly that reverting the encoding to iso-2022 is
probably not the best course of action and that other than "uselessly
complex code" I couldn't find a concrete problem description that can
help decide whether the charset properties are actually relevant.

I'm beginning to believe they're not: they may have been back in
Emacs<23 when it was important to pick the right characters from the
right charset, but since we switched to Unicode for our internals, the
distinction has disappeared.
