Just conversationally -- and not to demean anyone else's aspirations for 
zsh -- it seems to me that shells are text based interfaces to the OS 
and that it's wrong headed to expect them to have very much of anything 
to do with cute emojis.  Or maybe that's wrong.  I know nothing about 
grapheme-clustering -- I don't even know that that means -- but it sure 
smells like a can of worms -- the sort of thing that will never be 
cleanly  finished and that might even cause blowups of established 
functionality.  Just my two cents.
