It worked fine when I tested it. From my reading of
`quail-define-inscript-package' and the fact that eg
`inscript-mlm-keytable' only has 5 entries in the 'Misc' section, I
didnʼt think it would cause any issues.

Also now that `indian-dev-base-table' has 8 entries in the 'Misc' section,
inluding one for ?॥, Iʼm wondering about this code at
indian.el:61:

(quail-define-indian-trans-package
 indian-dev-itrans-v5-hash "devanagari-itrans" "Devanagari" "DevIT"
 "Devanagari transliteration by ITRANS method.")
(quail-defrule "..." ?॥) <== couldnʼt this be in `indian-itrans-v5-table' now?
(quail-defrule "\\'" ?॑)
(quail-defrule "\\_" ?॒)
(quail-defrule "\\__" ?_)
(quail-defrule "\\''" ?')

But I havenʼt tested any changes along those lines :-)
