Is `Hangeul' different from `Hangul' (the Unicode term for Korean)?  I
thought that CNS was fairly comprehensive for CJK, but I don't know
where I got that idea.

It needs a table of composition rules, and code to assemble and
dissemble compositions on reading and writing, somewhat the inverse of
the normal composition mechanism.  Presumably handa can advise if
someone wants to do it.

I'm surprised there aren't composition rules already, if Korean uses
composed characters.
