That's my inclination, too, but we do already encode a couple of clefs
that are arguably identical in meaning to the modern G clef, e.g. the
Petrucci G clef (U+E901 in SMuFL 1.0). I'm not adamant that these clefs do
*not* deserve inclusion, but my inclination would be that they could be
included in a general purpose music font as stylistic alternates for the
modern G clef (as indeed Bravura includes a couple of stylistic alternates
for the F clef, as shown on page 53 of the SMuFL 1.0 spec).
