I think it is a good idea to have arrowheads for straight lines in the font.

By the way: there was a misunderstanding concerning vertical arrows,
that are currently encoded at U+E689 and U+E68A. I suggested these
glyphs and mentioned their meaning as sharper/flatter intonation, but I
did not write what I meant, and I did not point out that they are used
in a certain variety of meanings (like the one discussed now). My
sincere apologies for this vagueness, I suggest to move them to the
general articulation range.
