Why should these strange multiglyph characters not also? I'm not talking about WHETHER to do it; I've agreed to that (although I think the face used needs to be changed). I'm talking about HOW to implement this. I don't like the idea of implementing it by having a display table all the time. It ought to be implemented in the code that generates the ^ and \ characters. I reimplemented it in the way I think is cleaner. I also turned off use of this for ellipses, and changed the face definition to be less loud.
