  I’ve implemented this approach, so this feature request is no longer of great 
importance to Vietnamese. A side benefit is that it’s now possible to say that 
a //Nôm// character is a “translation” of some senses of a //quốc ngữ// word 
but not others (because of semantic distinctions that were only necessary to 
indicate in //chữ Nôm//).
