And not just any multiple glyphs, but unprintable ones! Anyway,
it took me about 10 minutes to programmatically assign arbitrary
non-duplicate names for all of the component glyphs here. That
was easy. But, I have to tweak my own program now in order
to get the first three glyphs re-named. It's a long story, but
post table format three is starting to look better and better.
