Actually, I think that I figured that out. Maybe you haven't gotten through
the stack of emails yet. The summary is:
1. The #4 case is not "legit" in rfc-land. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't
be a good idea to add convenience functionality.
2. I suggested an alternate way to do this which I think is simpler, doesn't
break anything, and works from the LANG environment variable so that the
charset information wouldn't have to be configured on a per-user basis.
