Is double-quote (`"') a legal character under Mule?  If yes, I
certainly dislike it intensely, because it makes *.el* files
unparsable by non-Mule XEmacs.  As a practical consequence, I am
unable to `make autoloads' in Mule-less XEmacs.

For example, string at line 845 of tex-jp.el is sufficient to make the 
whole file syntactically incorrect, which in turn makes the autoload
process die.

How would Mule cope with such strings being \-escaped?

If not, a possible workaround would be to make the autoload-making
process simply skip the files it cannot parse.
