That's OK. They don't need to use "1 / 3" and can use "/ 1 3" instead,
for example.

That's what the RET is for.

Thanks for pointing it out.

I think sticking to digits is the best choice since it's the only one
that guarantees there won't be any need to dance around with modifiers.

Very much so, yes.

C-x 8 0 2 6 3 a is just as short. And if we can drop the 0, it's
even shorter.
