+The new charsets `japanese-jisx0213-2', `mule-unicode-0100-24ff',
+`mule-unicode-2500-33ff', and `mule-unicode-e000-ffff' take up 4 slots
+for new charsets in the private area of the Mule internal character
+representation.  This might cause add-on packages which add
+dimension-2 charsets to fail, because there's no only 1 slot left for
+such charsets.  (There are still many free slots for dimension-1
+charsets.)
