OK, I don't have first-hand evidence. But, I think it's pretty unlikely
that there is case on the basis that:
- this was clearly innovated from a caseless digit
- the source documenting this David mentioned apparently does not report a
case pair
- the cuatrillo is a very similar situation, and while I have seen recent
usage of that, I've not seen any evidence of a case pair
Of course, none of this is certain -- I'm making a conjecture (but one I
feel is almost certainly true). I was not assuming that any character
proposal was going to be based on my comments. I was merely suggesting for
David's benefit what I think may be appropriate.
