So, it seems we would increase consensus in EWG if we
added emojis to the valid identifier characters.
That also gets us zero-width joiners (ZWJ):
https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/#gender-neutral
but maybe we can limit the fall-out by allowing ZWJ
only inside of sequences of emojis, although I hate
to burden compilers with even more special rules around
the source code text (beyond NFC).
*If* C++, should support emojis,
I think a reasonable solution would be to refer to the sequences in these files
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)
