Thanks, this is close to perfect now. However, I noticed yet another
conflicting rule: ("u'" ?ў) ("U'" ?Ў). Since it is У with breve,
we could use the same key tilde ~ as used by Latin input methods to
input Latin letters with breve: ("u~" ?ў) ("U~" ?Ў).

It is too bad to drop ("e'" ?э) since it is a frequently used letter.
I propose to add a rule ("e\\" ?э) because `э' is named REVERSED E,
and REVERSE SOLIDUS `\' has similar mnemonics.

Thanks, it is important to keep mappings backward-compatible if possible.

Everything seems correct now.

I agree that this is the most reasonable way to implement this feature.
I only have doubts about backward-compatibility if it might break some
existing code.

I think there is no need in such complexity since in the minibuffer
after typing C-\ you can select multiple input methods.
