Correct again. I do however, think that setting out in
a direction that doesn't lead there would be better (if
such a direction exists, which I'm not making a strong
claim is the case).

It's often hard to resist the impetus to define such
code-points once people have started meandering down
the path that leads them to eventually ask for those.

Cheers,
