OS X 10.7 Lion: Customizing Character Picker

Over at apple.stackexchange.com a poster has figured out how to customize the popup menu of special characters that appears when you hold down a key in Lion. The list of characters in that menu is given, for example, in the Keyboard-en.plist found in System/Library/Input Methods/PressAndHold.app/Contents/Resources.

Access to Contents can be obtained by selecting the app icon and doing Control +click/Show Package Contents. Logout/login should be done after editing the .plist.
