Encoding for INPUT is determined as following:
The highest priority choice: by command option (like --incode)
The next priority choice: by the emacs-like tag
The third priority choice: by LC_CTYPE, i.e., nl_langinfo(CODESET)
The last priority choice: fallback to Latin-1
Encoding for OUTPUT is determined as following:
The highest priority choice: by command option (like --outcode)
The next priority choice: by LC_CTYPE, i.e., nl_langinfo(CODESET)
The last priority choice: fallback to ASCII (or Latin-1)
Fallback into Latin-1 might be better because I think all non-Latin-1
people know about locale. (Latin-1 users sometimes don't know about
locale.)
