Precisely why assigning qamats qatan to class 18 would not be
particularly useful: it allows you to distinguish < qamats, qamats qatan
> from < qamats qatan, qamats >; it does not allow you to distinguish
differently-ordered sequences of qamats qatan and any other combining
marks with a non-zero class.
