I agree, and this would certainly be necessary if Unicode Named
Character Sequences are to be defined for Hebrew, e.g. for such
meaningful concepts as HEBREW LETTER SIN WITH DOT and HEBREW LETTER SHIN
WITH DOT, because these are commonly combined with other combining
characters of lower combining class than SIN DOT and SHIN DOT.
