Now that we have a test suite for diff highlight, we can show off the improvements from 8d00662 (diff-highlight: do not split multibyte characters, 2015-04-03). While we're at it, we can also add another case that _doesn't_ work: combining code points are treated as their own unit, which means that we may stick colors between them and the character they are modifying (with the result that the color is not shown in an xterm, though it's possible that other terminals err the other way, and show the color but not the accent). There's no fix here, but let's document it as a failure.
