I think it's wrong. Kore is an alias for two scripts. This 
Suppress-Script thing, how is it to know that a paragraph in Chinese 
with three words in Hangul in the middle isn't really Chinese and not 
Korean? Kore makes sense from the point of view of ISO 15924, but 
not, I think, in terms of the automated stuff Suppress-Script is 
supposed to do.

I could be wrong. But my impression is that this request is unsafe.
