Why do we want this interface at all, aside from backward compatibility with legacy Mule? With Unicode inside, a `get-char-components' function must be set-valued or nondeterministic (it depends on some global precedence list), and (eq (list cs o1 o2) (get-char-components (make-char-from-components cs o1 o2))) is mostly false. `charset-of-char' and `octet-of-char' don't make sense as separate APIs, they must be generated together. As far as I can see, this is not something that can be done right. There are only different ways to do it wrong, none of which are very attractive to me.
