Right.
If I create an extent in an iso8859-1 buffer (however it got there)
but then realize 'oh shit, that is really shift-jis encoded goo' and
decode the coding region, isn't it possible that the extent could
start or end in the _middle_ of a shift-his sequence, and it would
then be in the middle of the new character?
In that case I would round it to a character.
Would the open/closed start/end-ness be of use there?
No, I don't think so.
