does anyone have an references for how it is generally interpreted.
none of my X manuals see to have anything about it (of course, they're
quite old) ??
is it as simple as <multi-key><accent-char><letter> and
nothing happens if you enter an invalid sequence ??
or is it custom to just translate <multi-key><accent-char>
into a dead-char and continue with the normal dead-char
processing ??
