In delete-forward-char, we use find-composition to get the extend of the
current glyphs in terms of characters. AFAICT, find-composition does a
forward search for the 'composition' text property. My proposal was
that we write a find-composition variant that would do a backward search
for the 'composition' text property which we then can make of use in
delete-backward-char.
We cannot simply do backward-char then delete-forward-char and bind it
to a command since IIRC the grapheme cluster movement happens in the
display code? M-: (progn (backward-char 1) (delete-forward-char 1)) RET
deletes கு| to | (| being point) whereas if I define the above as a
command named test, and call it via M-x test RET it gives க| instead.
Which is why I said we need a "backward version of the grapheme cluster
detection code."
HTH.
