I think this is a bad idea. When the terminal emulator receives WO2,
it needs to display a double-width glyph after it has already
displayed a single-width one, which will complicate the implementation
and cause flicker.
Of course, the Unicode folks have already imposed the implementation
penalty by encoding combining characters after the base character, but
that's no excuse for us f*cking up too.

P.S. Markus, why do you insist on having state in your latest
proposal?
