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?
