This is a big service for us at Symmetry. Getting Unicode

nothing to do except perhaps dealing with a bit of breakage.
Thank you!
I had no idea that this was becoming an issue for you guys. It
wasn't in any of the meeting notes and I haven't seen it
brought up anywhere. So if there is anything more like this,
please talk about it!
Yes, I should have done that.
I see it's not quite Unicode 15 though. `graphemeStride` does
not take Emoji sequences and prepend characters into account.
I'm going to contribute a bit now since it's holiday, and this
is a good task for me. PR coming soon unless I run into issues!
Yeah, there will be tons of small stuff currently missed out
due to such a big jump and of course ping me @rikkimax, when
you have something to review.
Loads of other work available such as culling all the version
specific information out of the docs :)
Other things coming to mind: Bidirectional grapheme iteration,
Word break and line break algorithms, lazy normalisation. Indeed,
lots of improvement potential.
