If these are the only ones you need, it should be easy to have them without all the rest of the baggage in iso-acc.el. Btw, for the 2nd part above, doesn't sorting with string-collate-lessp as the predicate solve the problem in a more clean manner? Btw2, iso-acc.el was only removed from master, it still exists on the emacs-25 branch.
