Lest someone reply that the programmer can order the list, e.g. could use, say,
`(charset-priority-list)' instead of `charset-list', let me say that that would
miss the  point.

The problem (bug) is about specifying the default value, and documenting that.
It is not about improving the particular example used to illustrate the problem.
