senpai now correctly computes the width of unicode strings, such as sequences of emoji interleaved with Zero-Width-Joiners, and the editor goes from cluster to cluster, instead of codepoint (rune) to codepoint. This breaks users on terminal that do not support grapheme clusters, such as alacritty[0]. See http://unicode.org/reports/tr29/ and https://github.com/rivo/uniseg [0] alacritty/alacritty#3975

figure out problems with foot:explanation here https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/782#issuecomment-278311Related, maybe?
It seems there is no way to compute the width of a grapheme cluster, so I think the best way to go is to not change the way senpai computes the width of strings (rune by rune), but still tell tcell to render the grapheme cluster as one.
