The former really sets, the latter puts the argument on top of a  
stack of coding systems. GNU Emacs than has the chance to make a  
first choice from what you prefer. You can use the latter command  
more than once. IMO the prefer form is the better choice, because the  
set form would overwrite any well set of settings gained from reading  
the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, or LANG.
