Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In polish-slash input method the character '/' is used to
introduce polish diacritics. Currently the only way to input the
character '/' itself is to press `ctrl+q /' -- this is not
intuitive. More logical way to proceed is to press slash
twice '//'. So I propose to add the following line to 

--- latin-pre.el-------------------------------------------------
(quail-define-package
 "polish-slash" "Polish" "PL>" nil
 "Polish diacritics in Latin-2 encoding are input as `/[acelnosxzACELNOSXZ]'.
For example, the character named `aogonek' is obtained by `/a'."
 nil t t t nil nil nil nil nil nil t)

(quail-define-rules
 ("//" ?/  ;;; NEW LINE
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The input method works with other encodings too. So, it is also
necessary to change the documentation string above

-----------------------------------------------------------------
 "Polish diacritics and slash character are input as `/[acelnosxzACELNOSXZ/]'.
For example, the character named `aogonek' is obtained by `/a'."

Thank you for the good suggestion.  I installed that change
in HEAD.
