I also agree, but I point out that the sufficiently perverse could come
up with some pretty tough examples. Applying color is a pretty benign
style, but what if I wanted a boldface circumflex on a normal letter?
Or even more obnoxious, a 10-point circumflex on a an 8-point letter?
These could be tricky to compute.
Of course, "Garbage In, Garbage Out" is probably a good answer to this:
if you ask the system to do bizarre things, it's your own fault (while
applying color is not quite so bizarre).
