I now agree, despite the fact that it's rarely technically ambiguous from a
parsing standpoint. I personally am not a great parser, neither
recursive-descent nor LALR(n) nor any other kind, so the simpler the
better. :) Given the other use of parentheses, I withdraw my suggestion
for '(' as non-syllabicity diacritic.

Which I believe won't work in CXS, because the replacement of '{' and
'}' by other symbols was a swap, IIRC, so those are still segments.
What about [ and ]? Are those available?
If we could free up {, I'd like to see it be the non-syllabicity diacritic.
