Likewise, it wasn't possible until recently to EASILY type an accented vowel, or an n-tilde, from a US keyboard. Now, however, there's an IME that converts APOS + a into á (accented small a). Likewise, someone could write a Perl IME that converted TILDE+GREATER into Unicode-wiggly-right-arrow. And then it would be trivial, and you'd wonder what the fuss was about back in K2 ... =Austin
