Let's assume that we define a quail input method where we define translations for "<->" and "-+". With MAXIMUM-SHORTEST set, Emacs can translate according to the second definition, if we type < - - + but it fails to translate < - + Of course, the docstring of `quail-define-package' doesn't say anything different, but if clearly would be nice if Emacs/quail could do this. Is anything planned in this direction? (This is not really important, it just would be "nice".) - Christoph
