Re: printing most-negative-fixnum fails

[Richard Stallman]

    For non-ASCII chars, print only charset name, or print
    something like below:

            53794 = (make-char 'japanese-jisx0208 36 34)

That might be a good approach.

    And make C-u C-u C-x C-e show a real character.

A simpler idea: we could make C-j on that make-char expression do it.
C-j could look at the expression to be evaluated, and if it is a call
to make-char, it could show the character (in the same way it does
now).
