But you don't know what you are debugging until Emacs (or something 
else) points out the unexpected BOM.  Indicating the presence of a BOM 
isn't really any different to indicating the encoding, though a better 
(more noticeable) UI might be some indicator in the left fringe on the 
first line of the file, rather than just a change to the character in 
the modeline.
