Fine to me with all these accents that Andries mentioned. And I do not
care too much saying that /o is accented, although that was not what I
learned in school. So we move / and o to be accents. So it goes:

When a letter is composed of an accent and a latin letter
you specify the accent first. Accents used: ' ` : , ~ ^ / o - . v u "
and maybe more.

Special letters not accented: ae AE oe OE ij IJ ss.
The dotles i might be .i - which read normally is meaningless -
there is a dot there already.

The problems with the u and v accents are that they may lead to
names already defined in the standard troff. I have not investigated
this, maybe Andries know more about the possibilities.
