For the record, as a person living in emoji country, I understand the
narrow/wide character madness as well as fonts issues. And we're trained to
avoid any 8-bit characters unless necessary because only ASCII (except 0x5c)
is trustworthy.

That's the reason I thought I wasn't the right person to judge the value
of this extension. If some people love this feature, we shouldn't stop it
just because it wouldn't work in many CJK environments.
