Since the default emoji names are rather bland, it's common for
platforms to implicitly include alternative keywords for popular
emoji. For example, the name of 🤗 is "smiling face with open hands",
but something like "hug" makes more sense when searching for it.
It would be nice if Emacs had an option to specify an a-list
containing alternative keywords for given emoji. The car of an entry
would be an emoji and the cdr would be a list of alternative keywords.
Then these could been included when running `emoji-search' or in
possible future input methods. As an example, it could look like
'(("🤗" "hug" "hugging" "kind"))
The keywords need not be unique for the given emoji. There are some
efforts to crowdsource keywords for emoji. One is [1] (see also raw
file [2]). I think it makes more sense to only have an option and let
the user specify the keywords he wants.
