Agreed.

Which is left guillemet in ASCII, and is still going to be a "hot" character,
even in ANSI. I guess I would add that too. I left it out because the ANSI
glyph (Registered sign) is not part of the built-in table.

None of those _characters_ (forget the numbers) is part of the default table,
so I left them out, for a philosophical consistency with the designer's intent.

Obviously, there is a distinction between a _default_ ANSI table, which we're
trying to construct here, and your personal table (and preferences), which can
be anything you want.

I'll update the posted default table with the first five characters you mention.
