During my work to clean up the Unicode -> ascii cross-calls I have noticed some A:W pairs where both are implemented in essentially the same way. Would it be sensible in these case to make the A function into a call to the W one, to reduce code size, or would I be wasting my time .

In general having both is a waste. It makes the code harder to maintain and bugs harder to find. IIRC though sometimes there might be (subtle) differences in behavior of the two. I think that would be the rare case though. At least rarer than the behavior of 16 vs 32 calls.
