Aaahh, yes, my mistake.

But in the coding of  \Undeclare...  the code-point location
is not actually used. These break the direct link between,
e.g. \"W, and *any* unicode point, as established by the
corresponding  \Declare.... command.
It is only there to make it easy to get the correct \Undeclare...
from that \Declare... command, by copy/paste.

(Clearly I didn't use copy/paste and made a small slip-up.)


What I really need now are 2 things:

   1.  an easy way to access variants for accents, according to
       whether they go over upper/lower-case letters;

   2.  a reliable way to work out how much to adjust the
       vertical position when  \set at accent  doesn't quite
       get it right --- e.g.  with the Venturis *** styles.
