Btw, the _only_ reason Handa-san and now myself were able to implement
something like the forward/backward-char-intrusive commands is that we
DO control which parts of text are composed and which aren't.  If we
were to follow HarfBuzz developers' advice, and were to hand all the
text to HarfBuzz for shaping, we would need the HarfBuzz cooperation
to implement such features in the editor.
