I think it is. The underlying problem, that the coding system code

more accurate at detecting encodings, so this is less of a problem.
The worst aspect is that it does it silently. Once I modified my own
branch of 21.4 to throw up warnings whenever there's a coding error,
life became much better - and I also found many many coding-system
related bugs in VM !
