Re: [w3c/editing] Should we expose physical direction in Deletion commands? (for the case of RTL) (#133)

I propose:
 - Delete forward = delete grapheme
 - Delete backward = delete grapheme or code point depends on language and platform

In JS standard library, there are no functions to deal grapheme. 
When web devs want to implement "Delete Forward/Backward by Grapheme", they need to have library implementing UAX#29.

For "Delete Backward like Backsapce", web devs need to know platform convention about deleting one code point or grapheme by multiple code points.

Swift provides functions handling grapheme:
