Hello!

Since GNU Emacs 23.0.50 has been updated to GNU Emacs 23.0.60, the  
Unicode Emacs, (in config.log I still can see PACKAGE_STRING='emacs  
23.0.50' and PACKAGE_VERSION='23.0.50') I would like to see enabled  
something like this:

	(defvar ctl-≈-map nil
	  "Default keymap for C-≈ commands.
	My special input mode global definition of the character C-≈  
indirects to this keymap.")

Purpose: to be able to save a buffer when the keyboard is in some non- 
Latin input mode and produces instead of x the character ≈ or й. So  
I would need to install a ctl-≈-map *and* a ctl-й-map which would  
allow key bindings like

	(define-key ctl-≈-map "\C-\∑" 'save-buffer)

and

	(define-key ctl-й-map "\C-\я" 'save-buffer)

plus some more that my fingers can press what my eyes see and what  
they're used to press since decades (the basic little things) in case  
I'm writing in another script and some other language.
