Or... well, that might break some people's code, so let's not do that.
And I'm not quite sure that such a function really makes sense. How
often do you reverse a string for display purposes, anyway?
But it might make sense to add function to tokenize a string into
grapheme clusters -- I can see that being useful. Then the caller can
chop and reverse the list of clusters as they wish.
`string-tokenize-graphemes'?
