I believe Michael's point was that, under Mule, you can create coding
systems that have nothing to do with character sets, such as a `gzip'
coding-system. Coding systems are Emacs-specific hybrids between
character sets and their external representation. This probably makes
them different enough from "character sets" to warrant for a separate
name.
