Nice.
Just as an addendum:

I find the latin-4-postfix input method good for entering macrons:
| postfix | examples
------------+---------+----------
macron | - | a- -> ā
I have this configured as the default:
;; Latin-4 facilitates macron accents (e.g. a- => ā).
;; n.b. If `current-language-environment' is customized, it clobbers
this.
(setq default-input-method "latin-4-postfix")
