Replaced Greek Exteded psili and dasia with scaled versions of the "bent quote" mark. I think it's distinctive enough, but not so silly.

This is from Jacob Poon's report of 2007-10,

I agree that the semicircles don't look great, and that something like a comma would be better.

However, the comma of this font is entirely too big for this role.
Maybe I could make a smaller version.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Greek Psili (U+1FBF) and Greek Dasia (U+1FFE) are incorrectly drawn using semicircles, which also affects Greek Extended glyphs using the diacritical marks. The bug does not exist in other font families. They should look more like commas.
