Hi. I'm in the US and I have a plain US keyboard. I have found that
when I need to type characters beyond ASCII the Compose (aka MultiKey)
method is by far the most convenient way to do so. But now I have a
need to type things which are not in the Xorg compose repertoire,
apparently [1]. So my question is, are the composable combinations in
any way configurable? Or are they hardcoded into the Xorg server code
and the only way to change/enhance them is to compile my own?

[1] How do I even _know_ what is available? Does
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose reflect the reality?

Put them in your .XCompose file.
