Ick.  Good point.  Maybe we oughta allow L& too :P

Ok, surely we need a class between NameClass (which I grant is too
restrictive for a lot of things) and FreeClass (which I guess ought to
be as open as possible, to account for the possibility of
subclassing).  I know we had many more of these in the past, and
ditched a lot of the distinctions, but can't we come up with
NonBoneheadClass that restricts us to the set of things that can be
predictably normalised in some sane way?  We can't solve the O -> o
and ò -> Ò problem, but surely we could set a class that doesn't
include those cases?  Yes, this might entail nasty mappings and
information loss; that would be the point.
