Of course, that's why we can't do directly it in the
xkeysym->char conversion.  But it seems like doing it in read-char
should work.  Can you show me an existing piece of code where it wouldn't
work right?  Hypothetical examples aren't too interesting since we can also
concoct such examples where the current "translate in
self-insert-command" can be made to fail.
