It seems much greater effort to tell people to use a mapping - now everyone must learn how to configure/program their editor, and this may be impossible for some editors. I was under the impression that virtually every code editor and viewer supports utf-8. If you want to do mappings, it seems preferable to first use a new ASCII operator for composition, which can still be mapped it to a unicode dot.
