>From the peanut gallery (I don't use macrons much in my writing, so
please disregard if not helpful): if we are going to displace an
existing binding, why not `C-x 8 ='? It's currently bound to ¯
(MACRON), and the = prefix is reminiscent of TeX, where \=o yields ō
(which is usable right now with the TeX input method).
