That already happens, to a degree. Both wcwidth and char-width-table
in Emacs are supposed to be based on the same data whose source is the
Unicode Character Database (UCD). Of course, whatever libc you are
using and Emacs are not necessarily in sync when a new version of
Unicode comes out. But other than that, the data should be the same.
