How does other programs handle it? One obvious, if rather crude and
non-scaleable, method would be to have a long file containing calls to
`set-key' for each relevant Unicode character. Registering *every*
possible Unicode character as possible input would probably be immense
overkill, especially since there are so many of them. I find it most
important to support the range of characters defined in ISO-8859-1,
since they are the ones most likely to be used.
