Display of decomposed characters

Hi,

Before filing a bug, I wanted to ask whether the following Emacs
behavior is intentional: Even with Cairo and Harfbuzz, Emacs displays
decomposed Unicode characters (e.g. "a" followed by U+0308 COMBINING
DIAERESIS) as separate glyphs. While that's not technically wrong, I
think it would be better to display them as a single glyph, in other
words, not distinguish between canonically equivalent Unicode strings.
