No, we have all the code points we need. The issue really is that the
t- and d-functions should have been addons all along.

Ahh, I understand your position better now. But am still against it. I
think the names t. etc. are more valuable for use as new primitives than
for backward compatibility.
Backward compatibility is important. But we need to draw lines from time to
time.
Is this the concern?
$ fgrep '(C)' jc.h | wc -l
181
If the limitation is that we run out of code points when that number
hits 255, we might implement a different approach.
For example, we might implement an "extension" code point displays as
a zero width string and which introduces an alternate significance for
the following "code point".
