+By default, on reading a file, Emacs tries to detect how the text is\n\
+encoded.  This code detection is sensitive to escape sequences.  If\n\
+the sequence is valid as ISO2022, the code is detemined as one of\n\
+ISO2022 encoding, and the file is decoded by the corresponding coding\n\
+system (e.g. `iso-2022-7bit').\n\

+However, there may be a case that you want to read escape sequences in\n\
+a file as is.  In such a case, you can set this variable to non-nil.\n\
+Then, as the code detection ignores any escape sequences, no file is\n\
+detected as some of ISO2022 encoding.  The result is that all escape\n\
+sequences become visible in a buffer.\n\
+\n\
+The default value is nil, and it is strongly recommended not to change\n\
+it.  That is because many Emacs Lisp source files that contain\n\
+non-ASCII characters are encoded by the coding system `iso-2022-7bit'\n\
+in Emacs's distribution, and they won't be decoded correctly on\n\
+reading if you suppress escapse sequence detection.\n\
+\n\
+The other way to read escape sequences in a file without decoding is\n\
+to explicitely specify some coding system that doesn't use ISO2022's\n\
+escape sequence (e.g `latin-1') on reading by \\[universal-coding-system-argument].");
