Isn't entering time as XX:YY:ZZ also the norm? (or one of the norms)
I do consider this clash an issue, and would like to have it admitted as such.
This doesn't mean anything is wrong with emoji recognition, but if two features
don't work together properly, that's still a bug in the software, isn't it?
At the same time, I understand and appreciate the efforts made at looking for a
solution. Let me also share an idea.
What if the code checked if the emoji pattern to be substituted matched to a
valid ISO 8601 time prefix, and wouldn't substitute if it did? And then if the
user continues with a whitespace, only then it follows through with the
substitution.
There are already a few autocorrect entries that work this way (eg. "-->",
"--"), so even if normally :emoji: is supposed to be a well-defined format,
this behavior wouldn't be completely unexpected.
