Well, one question that it would be nice to be able to ask Emacs is
"show me all the characters that resemble CH", so that users could
decide what to add to the existing set.

Another potential issue is how does one easily delete a character from
the list, when what is known is its name or codepoint?  Using Isearch
with \N{...} or "C-x 8 RET" is quite advanced.
