I would have preferred the combining option as well,
though rejected it for similar reasons. Been using unicode for
10+ years on my file systems (often with many compat issues),
but have only recently started to see more widespread usage
of them on the net...but felt wasn't fully enough supported
to use as an indicator in ls... In our lifetimes? ;-)
