I implemented that and tried on several files. But, it
seems that such kind of feature is not that helpful.
In the case that the buffer contains many unencodable chars,
usually the specified coding system is wrong, and we must
use a different coding system. So, it is not that
interesting to know where are the other unencodable
characters.
In the case that the buffer contains a few unencodable
chars, as it's seldam that more than one of them appear in
one window, highlighting the other unencodable chars is not
that useful.
These seem like persuasive arguments; it sounds good.
How can I make a test case to observe it functioning?
I tried but I couldn't get encoding to "fail".
