Since Leim is nowadays part of Emacs, I don't see a reason to have ways of typing characters that circumvent Leim. > Incidentally, I think it might be nice to be able to insert named > characters. So the user hits a key, then types, say "LATIN CAPITAL > LETTER A WITH OGONEK" (with completion), and then that character is > inserted. I agree. However, this is not a kind of a facility that could support fast typing, as names of many characters begin the same (so even with completion you'll need to type quite a bit before it's unambiguated). I believe Miles wanted a solution that facilitates fast typing.
