// Unicode is annoying. A "code point" (rune in Go-speak) may need up to
// 4 bytes to represent it. In general, a code point will represent a
// complete character, but this is not always the case. A character with
// accents may be made up of multiple code points (the code point for the
// original character, and additional code points for each accent/marking).
// The functions below are meant to help deal with these additional "combining"
// code points. In underlying operations (search, replace, etc...), micro will
// treat a character with combining code points as just the original code point.
// For rendering, micro will display the combining characters. It's not perfect
// but it's pretty good.
