this will probably break utf-8 files without BOM. With BOM they would be
correctly detected by ucs-bom. Without a BOM all or almost all utf-8 files
can be interpreted as utf-16 -- even those with an odd number of bytes; in
this case Vim puts out a conversion error, but loads the file anyway. Even
incomplete surrogate pairs don't seem to prevent Vim from loading the file
as utf-16.

Better put utf16le after utf-8, because a misinterpretation of utf16 (both
little endian and big endian) can be detected by Vim.

But then you will probably run into the same dilemma with utf-16 and
latin9 ... :-(

Regards,
Jürgen
