Somewhere emacs keeps a hidden file with a list of just about everyting
it has edited with information about these files -- such as what
character encoding they use. There's some mechanism to tell it to
change a file from an old encoding to a new one. It doesn't seem to
look at the file an guess if it already has the info in this file-type
database.
