Thank you.  I have this:

(dolist (method 
         ;; there must be a better way to do this grep :)
         (remove nil
                 (mapcar 
                  (lambda(m) 
                    (let ((name (car-safe m)))
                      (when (string-match "cyrillic" name)
                        name)))
                  input-method-alist)))
  (quail-defrule ",," ?„ method)
  (quail-defrule "\"\"" ?“ method))

but it is not working, because the method name is not the right thing to
specify for quail-defrule.  I hope I don't have to use a macro to do

(eval-after-load "quail/..."
  '(quail-defrule "A" ?B nil t))

for each such method, as leim-ext.el does.  I hope also I don't have to
modify input-method-alist directly, but it seems right now that is the
best option.

Thanks
Ted
