      Note how in the ielm run
    below, the "real" generic character for ipa, 6272, and the invalid
    character 6300 seem to be treated as identical.  Is this intentional?

It is a little ugly, but it isn't very bad.
If nothing depends on this behavior, then it might be nicer
to get an error for an invalid character code, if that is not
hard to implement.
