Looking at Uighur and Sogdian and some other things and comparing them to
Mongolian to see whether they should be unified or not is something that
has been considered, but it's seemed prudent to make sure Mongolian works
OK before leaping forward to encode the others. And Mongolian is pretty
complicated.
