Hi all,

I'm revisiting this old thread now.  Since I got no satisfying answers
back then, here is my plan for solution.  I'm going first to map \', \`
etc. onto /names/ (this is a rather short list!), construct a Unicode
name of the character I want and then use =ucs-names=.

For instance, \' maps to "ACUTE", then \'a will map to "LATIN SMALL
LETTER A ACUTE" and this can be fed into =char-from-name=.

It is a horrible hack, but it should work.  Any better ideas?

Best,
