So what? We are also reimplementing large parts of the LaTeX parser.
So "redundant code" is not a good reason in itself.
You have to argue that *we* don't need the feature. So far, you have only
managed to argue that *you* don't need that feature. That's not enough,
since both Dekel and Jean-Marc have argued that they (or somebody
else) need the feature.
Now, if your main argument is that the feature is broken and unmaintained,
and therefore does more bad than good, that's a different matter completely.
However, in this case, you should give people a fair chance to fix it
before nuking it.
Or maybe provide something else that can reasonably substitute the
feature.

A better solution would be to provide a dialog, where you can visually
see all characters, and then select which one you need.

Great.
