I didn't expect this to be customizable, I was _sure_ this is
hard-coded somewhere. But then, this is Emacs, of course :-)

And OLD-REGEXP already contains `\"a', `"a' (which represent `ä') and
changes them to `ae', so I agree with you that

so that we get `ä' in that list, too. (And all the other
dots/hats/accents/you-name-it too, of course.) It would be great to
see this added to the default list. There is of course a whole lot of
`funny characters', but it would be desirable to have them in that
list.
