Well, I suppose my official position is that I Don't Care how people
use the characters we encode. But if we do not encode them they are
not available for use. Crees can have baroque fully-pointed
orthographies or vague suggestive orthographies as they like.

Glyph based input can be helpful for learning to type, all right, but
it isn't inherently "better" than QWERTY-based input.
