Thanks for submiting a patch. I already had written a patch before
you sent this; I chose to solve the problem a little differently
that will make it simpler to add more such letters in the future
if more get added.

Adding to the test suite is a good idea, but I will probably not
go with one file per letter.

Thanks for your report and offer to contribute!

Arnold
