Palochka is certainly needed in identifiers as it is an integral part of
the alphabet of some languages, especially of Dagestan. Words missing
their palochka are simply misspelled. But it might be possible to treat
palochka as equivalent to U+0406 for IDN purposes.
Similarly there are alphabets in the same region which use apostrophe
(perhaps it should be MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE) as part of their
alphabets.
Is it reasonable to disallow letters which are part of alphabets in
regular use?
