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'?
