I think if the input method makes doubled characters insert
themselves, there is not much of a problem. For example, even if
there were a lot of sequences involving SPC, users could easily
type SPC SPC to insert a "real" space character. (Of course, SPC was
chosen as an extreme example. We want to stay away from SPC. But
less-often used nonletters would be okay. For example, how about the
@ character. As long as @ @ inserts an @ sign, it wouldn't be
difficult for people to use.)
