No we don't; what we want is emacs with some kind of international
character set support that isn't anything to do with MULE (a unicode
version, perhaps). By all accounts MULE is a very badly designed system.
In any case, even if you accept the need for MULE for those languages such
as Japanese, for which a single 8-bit character set is not sufficient,
that's not a good reason to inflict it on the rest of us, at least not
until it runs at a sensible speed.
