Handling those in a computer program seems similar to having the 
computer understand a philosophical text.

Allowing decomposed characters in a string and trying to match them 
against identically _looking_ single Unicode characters does not seem 
appropriate for any "normal" software that is not especially made for 
analyzing linguistic issues.
