You also have the alternative of distinguishing the first character
(ie, allow a different set of characters there).

On a related topic, has anybody ever run into an issue with lookalike
characters (eg, Japanese full-width latin and numerals, Latin A
vs. Cyrillic A vs. Greek A, etc)?  Unicode alleges this to be a
security risk.  (The reason this comes up here is that JIS mirrors the
entire ASCII set into its multibyte encoding -- including the comma.
So if we don't unify ASCII ?, with JIS ?,, you could have symbols that
have commas in them but those commas are syntactically non-commas. ;-)
