- Categorize all nonspacing marks (Mn) and enclosing marks (Me) as
0-width
- Categorize all spacing marks (Mc) as non-0-width.
- Treat soft hyphens (a format character Cf) as non-0-width.
- Do not treat all unassigned code points as 0-width; instead, let ICU
select the default for that character per UAX #11.
- Avoid getting the General_Category of a character multiple times as it
is an intensive operation.

Rather than the pseudo-wcwidth impl used currently, use the ICU
character properties database to calculate string width and
determine if a character is full width or not. This allows the
algorithm to correctly identify emoji's as full width, ensures
the algorithm will continue to fucntion properly as new unicode
codepoints are added, and it's faster.
This was originally part of a proposal to add a new unicode module,
but has been split out.
