This is probably actually ISO-2022-JP-2, an internationalized version
of ISO-2022-JP.

Yes.  But all this has nothing to do with the buffer encoding, despite
the name.  The encoding of the buffer is either 8-bit or Mule-internal
(this is as of 20.3 elisp manual, I dunno from 20.2); there are no
other choices.

The so-called "buffer encoding" is actually the default encoding for
the _external_ file i/o operations.  All hail Ken-ichi Handa!  Not.
