I would not make the point that this adds too many chars for `ucs-names' or for `C-x 8 RET'. I would make the point that we should not be inventing character names and then associating such inventions with what has heretofore been a pretty faithful reflection of the Unicode standard. There are many different possible uses of `ucs-names'. It should not be assumed that the only use is to complete `C-x 8 RET' or that every use of that command or `ucs-names' will be improved by "loose" matching that allows names that are not defined by Unicode. If someone wants a command (or a hash table or other mapping similar to `ucs-names') that provides and uses handy non-Unicode names, s?he can easily define it. And if Emacs itself wants to provide such a command or such a map-producing function it can do it. But please do not do this to `ucs-names' or the default behavior for character insertion (i.e., `C-x 8 RET'). Every such possible "improvement" of character names for one person is sure to be a detriment to someone else and other use cases. Unicode itself does not define additional LAMDA versions of character names. `ucs-names' and `C-x 8 RET' should respect that and faithfully reflect the Unicode standard.
