I don't disagree with you. Using a compose key is all very well for a
small set, but the memory load of remembering al the compose sequences
is another matter, particularly for relatively infrequent use.
The question is what is the most ergonomic way of solving the problem:
special keyboards? Years ago I saw a typewriter with two keyboards, one
ordinary one, and one for mathematical symbols. Nowadays we can have
programmable keycap symbols that can change as we press
shift/alt/compose. That may be a way to go - relatively cheap and can be
handled at the OS level.
