i used to rely on regex splits for everything, but it was such a
nightmare when dealing with script boundaries in east asian languages. the way
Intl.Segmenter
handles grapheme clusters makes much more sense than trying to manually account for every edge case.
it's basically a lifesaver for anyone building multi-region dashboards. one thing i noticed is that performance can dip if you're instantiating new segmenters inside large loops. it's way better to
reuse the instance for the same locale throughout your processing logic. are you planning to use this for character-level emoji parsing or just standard word/sentence boundaries?
