Internally, jed will work with UTF-8 encoded text if the locale is
UTF-8.  If the charset associated with the file is not UTF-8, then jed
will perform the appropriate conversions when reading and writing the
file.  It should be transparent to you.

One of the things that I need to think about is an "API" for the
charset-mapping functions.  I mentioned one function, "set_charset",
but perhaps there should be more.  Can you think of other
charset-related functions that may be useful?  "get_charset" comes to
mind.
