But then only the encoding of the network process started by
nnimap-open-connection-1 should be made no-conversion.  By contrast,
binding coding-system-for-* around the call to open-network-stream has
much wider consequences, as it affects _any_ code run as part of
open-network-stream, in particularly epg-find-configuration, which has
nothing to do with the network stream.  nnimap-open-connection-1 is a
large function, so that binding affects quite a lot more than just the
network process it creates.
