You're welcome.  I'm just creating a new bug report here about the
inconsistent use of ,c vs ~c (and probably others) in the various input
methods of latin-pre.el.
Some of those input methods should probably be merged or deprecated,
I think, since they partly date back to the pre-unicode era where the
various latin-N charsets were all disjoint.

It seems that this has gotten some more work in the passing years, for
instance:

    Improve some of the breve/caron/cedilla mappings
    
That adds a bunch of ~c/,c mappings.

In any case, I'm not sure deprecating/reworking the rest of this would
be helpful -- people are really fond of their key bindings.  Is there
more to be done in this bug report?

There was no response in a few months, so I'm assuming "not", and
closing this bug report.  There's probably things that can be improved,
but perhaps more specific bug reports for those things would be nice.
