    BUG#16217 forced to introduce a separate mysql client command to adopt its · dd2a44c4

    internal charset to one associated with currently being handled query. 
    To note such a query can come from interactive client either.
    
    There was a discussion within replication team and Monty who's suggestion won.
    It avoids straightforward parsing of all `set' queries that could affect client side 
    character set. 
    According to the idea, mysql client does not parse `set' queries but rather cares of
    `charset new_cs_name' command.
    This command is generated by mysqlbinlog in form of exclaiming comment (Lars' suggestion)
    so that enlightened clients like `mysql' knows what to do with it.
    
    Interactive human can switch between many multi-byte charsets during the session 
    providing the command explicitly. 
    To note that setting new internal mysql's charset does not
    trigger sending any `SET' sql statement to the server.
