    I was meaning to ask about this. I'm all over not encoding Yet Another
    middle dot, but I was wondering. In my research on Samaritan, I've
    found that they frequently write (you guessed it) a middle dot to
    separate words (they like to use space to enable them to do this cool
    columnar writing thing). I was assuming that this could be conflated
    with someone else's middle-dot-word-separator; would that be U+10101?
