It's a compromise. Handling of 'fileencoding' in a modeline will be
different anyway. Other options don't change the way a file is loaded.
Another solution would be to also check the modelines at the end of the
file, then the whole file needs to be reloaded. While finding a 'fenc'
setting near the start of the file reloads only a small part of the file.
This could be handled like finding an illegal byte in a file. Then it
can be reloaded with a different encoding too.
