[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The quail key sequences in the "TeX" input method are inconsistent: the
key sequence for 0x22D8 VERY MUCH LESS-THAN (⋘) is "\Ll", but the key
sequence for 0x22D9 VERY MUCH GREATER-THAN (⋙) is "\ggg".

Personally, I would prefer that they be made consistent by changing ⋘ to
"\lll" (or at least adding it as an alternative), since the Agda input
method, which inherits from the TeX input method, uses "\Gg" for the small
Greek letter gamma (γ).

Thereʼs nothing stopping you from doing that locally:

(with-temp-buffer
  (activate-input-method "TeX") ;; the input method has to be triggered for `quail-package-alist' to be non-nil
  (let ((quail-current-package (assoc "TeX" quail-package-alist)))
    (quail-define-rules ((append . t))
                        ("\\lll" ?⋘))))

(I donʼt use the TeX input method, so I canʼt judge if doing that by
default makes sense, although adding it as an alternative seems
relatively harmless.)
