+1 for being able to suppress dotted circles. This always bites me as a user of rare and especially Vedic Indic texts. It should be just a simple if then block right?

(I know we've discussed this before, so just noting it here FTR.) Not sure whether there should be an API to enable/disable this behavior; is it likely that some clients might want to suppress it?
