This includes the Emacs initialization
file, @file{.emacs}, and the initialization files of packages
such as Gnus. However, you can specify unibyte loading for a
-particular Lisp file, by adding an entry @samp{unibyte: t} in a file
-local variables section (@pxref{File Variables}). Then that file is
-always loaded as unibyte text. Note that this does not represent a
-real @code{unibyte} variable, rather it just acts as an indicator
-to Emacs in the same way as @code{coding} does (@pxref{Specify Coding}).

The motivation for these conventions is that it is more reliable to
always load any particular Lisp file in the same way.

-Note also that this feature only applies to @emph{loading} Lisp files
-for evaluation, not to visiting them for editing. You can also load a
-Lisp file as unibyte, on any one occasion, by typing @kbd{C-x
-@key{RET} c raw-text @key{RET}} immediately before loading it.
