  "Semi-obsolete way to toggle display of ISO 8859 European characters.

This function is semi-obsolete; if you want to do your editing with
unibyte characters, it is better to `set-language-environment' coupled
with either the `--unibyte' option or the EMACS_UNIBYTE environment
variable, or else customize `enable-multibyte-characters'.

With prefix argument, this command enables European character display
if arg is positive, disables it otherwise.  Otherwise, it toggles
European character display.

When this mode is enabled, characters in the range of 160 to 255
display not as octal escapes, but as accented characters.  Codes 146
and 160 display as apostrophe and space, even though they are not the
ASCII codes for apostrophe and space.

Enabling European character display with this command noninteractively
from Lisp code also selects Latin-1 as the language environment, and
selects unibyte mode for all Emacs buffers \(both existing buffers and
those created subsequently).  This provides increased compatibility
for users who call this function in `.emacs'."
