*If* C++, should support emojis,
I think a reasonable solution would be to refer to the sequences in these
files

https://www.unicode.org/Public/emoji/13.0/emoji-sequences.txt
https://www.unicode.org/Public/emoji/13.0/emoji-zwj-sequences.txt

( as per http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/#def_rgi_set )

No idea how that can be worded nor whether it is reasonable
I am surprised emoji support would increase consensus (but the consensus
was quite strong)
