Precisely why assigning qamats qatan to class 18 would not be
particularly useful: it allows you to distinguish < qamats, qamats qatan
from < qamats qatan, qamats >; it does not allow you to distinguish
differently-ordered sequences of qamats qatan and any other combining
marks with a non-zero class.
Good. For that is precisely what we do NOT want to allow. Qamats qatan
should combine with dehi etc in only one way. So it should have a
different combining class. However, as it is a variant of qamats it
should have the same combining class as qamats; making a distinction
will only cause confusion and complicate rendering mechanisms.
