And you've truncated the end of my sentence : yes technically they could
still be encoded, but they would NOT be canonically equivalent to the
existing encoding using existng letters and existing combining macron. This
would create *distinct* clusters that would be highyl confusable, and this
is generally not wanted because this would effectively create a new
disunification.

In other words, this duplicate encoding (without canonical equivalence) is
not needed and not desirable.
