I propose we make a release of https://github.com/roc-lang/unicode

My thoughts are that if we make a release then people can use it and report any issues. At the moment it's not really practical to use being limited to a relative path. There is likely to be some edge cases with the grapheme text segmentation implementation, but it's only going to crash and ask people to report the issue if/when they find one. All 1300 official tests from unicode CLDR are passing.

We now have the Visual Width (East Asian Width) implementation which will be useful for making TUI apps, like text editors.

Also, we can import packages from other packages, so now there is more motivation to use unicode.

We may not want to make a release, because it hasn't been thoroughly tested and may not meet our standards for quality.

I've made it pre-release for now. @Anton when you get some time, could you please consider if we should make this an actual release? I'm happy to clean it up a bit if we want.

I can put up a nice README and polish up the examples a little bit, then we can make the release official :)
