I was thinking of simplifying, rather than adding features. One could
imagine a whole cluster-editing pop-up, but in the end it might not
make editing any easier. Mind you, when consonant stacks are treated as
grapheme clusters, it might be useful - Tibetan can have some fairly
large legacy grapheme clusters, and if one tailors aksharas to be
grapheme clusters one can get some monsters in the Tai Tham
script - <NA, SAKOT, HIGH TA, MEDIAL RA, AA, SAKOT, LOW YA> (visually
the base consonant is the ligature <NA, AA>, with dependent consonants
arrayed around it) and <HIGH HA, SAKOT, NA, E, OA BELOW, I, TONE-1,
SAKOT, LOW YA> spring to mind.
