Subject: 23.0.60; Can't paste from files with .arc extensions

I discovered that I could not select text with the mouse and paste via 
middle-button click into a non-emacs window when the file in question 
had a .arc extension. Paul Graham's new Arc language uses .arc as an 
extension and this extension is associated with no-conversion in the 
auto-coding-alist variable as follows:

auto-coding-alist is a variable defined in `mule.el'.
Its value is
(("\\.\\(arc\\|zip\\|lzh\\|lha\\|zoo\\|[jew]ar\\|xpi\\|exe\\|rar\\|ARC\\|ZIP\\|LZH\\|LHA\\|ZOO\\|[JEW]AR\\|XPI\\|EXE\\|RAR\\)\\'" 
. no-conversion)
 ("\\.\\(sx[dmicw]\\|odt\\|tar\\|tgz\\)\\'" . no-conversion)
 ("\\.\\(gz\\|Z\\|bz\\|bz2\\|gpg\\)\\'" . no-conversion)
 ("\\.\\(jpe?g\\|png\\|gif\\|tiff?\\|p[bpgn]m\\)\\'" . no-conversion)
 ("\\.pdf\\'" . no-conversion)
 ("/#[^/]+#\\'" . emacs-mule))

I am able to fix the problem by removing arc from the auto-coding-alist, 
but someone on gnu.emacs.help suggested I should file a bug report 
regarding this behavior.

Thanks,
Brian Adkins
