hi, @cl4es,
you are correct for this and the comment at setCharAt(), but I don't think it's
necessary to check all cases. this attribute is just like a hint. if this.coder
== LATIN1, that it doesn't matter if maybeLatin1 is true.
if our attitude is checking all cases, it will become too complex and
error-prone. deleteCharAt() and setLength() also need to check. if so, it will
pollute code more. I incline to set this attribute conservatively in all
deleting methods.
