This seems to me to be a Good Thing.  I recall, however, that Kyle tried 
something like this and ran into some trouble.  This was then backed out
in favor of (and here my understanding gets very fuzzy) letting some other
component of emacs handle this problem.  It never was clear to me when or
if that fix was ever made to emacs.  As you can see, I am very confused.

Could someone (Kyle?) please explain this bit of history?
Does Simon's table-driven solution have a better chance of working?
