It doesn't, according to the docs and it's the first thing I tried :)

OK, I changed things accordingly and will commit to CVS when the problem
above with doing combining characters in Quail is resolved.

I often see it written as q or u in manually transliterated text. Maybe
// or /q or /u would work? The corresponding /? /Q /U would uppercase
it.

OK, it's more consistent that way. Let's eliminate all but << and >> as
non-prefixed special characters for consistency (those two are too
convenient IMO). So we'd have:
/- -> –
/-- -> —
/. -> • ("big fat dot")
/.. -> … (or whatever is appropriate for this one)
/1{2,4,8,16,32,64} -> 1/fraction (the slash moves to the beginning)
/c -> copyright
/tm -> trademark
/rub-> ruble
/kop-> kopek
/lev-> leva (л AFAIK)
/sto-> stotinki (с AFAIK)
/e -> euro
/ce -> cents
/pa -> §
/`` -> ” (high 9 double quote)
/` -> ’ (high 9 single quote)
/, -> ‚ (low 9 single quote)
/,, -> „ (low 9 double quote)
/' -> ‘ (high 6 single quote)
/'' -> “ (high 6 double quote)
/& -> §
/ab -> §
/# -> №
/no -> №
<< -> «
>> -> »
