??? C-h v composition-function-table should display the
attached docstring in *Help* buffer.

------------------------------------------------------------
composition-function-table's value is 
[...]

Documentation:
Char table of patterns and functions to make a composition.

Each element is nil or an alist of PATTERNs vs FUNCs, where PATTERNs
are regular expressions and FUNCs are functions.  FUNC is responsible
for composing text matching the corresponding PATTERN.  FUNC is called
with three arguments FROM, TO, and PATTERN.  See the function
`compose-chars-after' for more detail.

This table is looked up by the first character of a composition when
the composition gets invalid after a change in a buffer.
