Sorry, I didn't realize it was so old.

Will take a look at it, thanks.

So maybe our best hope is to use `input-decode-map`?

Some aspects might seem tricky (e.g. the fact that it could affect
several buffers), but OTOH `input-decode-map` should simplify some of
the code by removing the ad-hoc handling of electric-pair and auto-fill.
