You haven't missed nothing. My knowledge of ELisp is too rudimentary for
creating such an infrastructure myself.
However in the documentation I described the procedure needed to tell
Emacs to interpret arbitrary ranges of PUA codepoints as characters with
*names*. It definitely can be extended to handle other properties but I
have not investigated this aspect.
So my repository contains just a proof-of-concept (which also is useful
for me personally).
