Lacking sequences for generating polytonic greek vowels holding several diacritics

Description
Polytonic greek vowels may hold up to three diacritics. The standard compose file (/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose) contains mostly a unique sequence, when it should contains up to six of them, as the user may randomly use any of these sequences.
As a example, generating the letter alpha from the Greek_alpha keysym contains the single line
<dead_iota> <dead_acute> <dead_psili> <Greek_alpha> : "ᾄ" U1F84 # GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI
when it should contain
<dead_iota> <dead_acute> <dead_psili> <Greek_alpha> : "ᾄ" U1F84 # GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI
<dead_acute> <dead_psili> <dead_iota> <Greek_alpha> : "ᾄ" U1F84 # GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI
<dead_acute> <dead_iota> <dead_psili> <Greek_alpha> : "ᾄ" U1F84 # GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI
<dead_iota> <dead_psili> <dead_acute> <Greek_alpha> : "ᾄ" U1F84 # GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI
<dead_psili> <dead_acute> <dead_iota> <Greek_alpha> : "ᾄ" U1F84 # GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI
<dead_psili> <dead_iota> <dead_acute> <Greek_alpha> : "ᾄ" U1F84 # GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI
or at least generate the composed letter for all six sequences, whatever sequence has been coded in the compose file (this would be much better indeed)
