Why escape-quoted rather than no-conversion?
Because no-conversion only works for ISO-8859-1 characters (there's no
way to stuff anything else into a byte without converting it), and the
point of ediff-coding-system-for-write is to write out all characters
that can be represented by Emacs in as close to unconverted form as
possible.
I assume this has something to do with diffing buffers, so ediff has
to handle characters created inside of X?Emacs as well as bytes
slurped in from outside.
