I think Emacs developers are much more motivated to improve the
multibyte mode than to fix the unibyte mode.  I cannot speak for the
head maintainers, but that is certainly my opinion: the unibyte mode
should simply die, as a mode for interactive editing.

You received several suggestions for trying things in multibyte mode.
Perhaps you could try them and see if they allow you to edit your
programs without screwing up the cp852 characters.  If something is
still wrong, please describe the problems here: we are much more
likely to find a solution for multibyte mode editing than for unibyte.
