    Stated bluntly like this, you would effectively rescind the 10th Unicode
    Design principle.

    Whenever that principle applies to a set, then non-PUA code points are
    in order, even if the characters violate some other design principle or
    the character-glyph model in some ways. That's the whole purpose of
    having #10.
