With the above, the specification of where one entry ends and the next begins
is important, particularly considering characters in decomposed form.
Would introducing space separation 'a b c ...' be acceptable, or do we
want to try specifying some other division of a string into entries?
Spacing, while longer, would at least allow easy expansion to the odd
multi-character entry like Greek "στ", and might give less surprising
results for borderline cases like Αι or ij that are sometimes considered
a single character.
A vaguely related issue with the above syntax is distinguishing between
glyphs:'abc...' and glyphs:'•'. Should one of the keywords be changed,
say to glyphs-string? Or do we want to guess based on length of the
string (or presence of spaces) ?
pjrm.
