Given that it was said that ScriptExtensions contains specific script
info for characters "that are used in only a few scripts", and the
above list does not seem "a few" (and what does that mean anyway) and
given that the list also seems likely to be larger rather than
smaller, I wonder if these deserve mention in the ScriptExtensions
file at all.
