I need to understand this patch.

When we all talked about this (here on and ruby-core) a while back, the 
consensus was that you can't really work with a file that has multiple 
encodings: if you're editing with one encoding, it will mess up the 
sections of the file that have another encoding. As I result, we didn't 
go ahead with RDoc support for conditional comments based on encoding.

Did we get it wrong? It would be wonderful if we could support multiple 
languages, encodings, and character sets in the same comment blocks.
