   This appears to be a way to remove emoji from a string:

   https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26568722/remove-unicode-emoji-using-re-in-python

   I implemented it as a regex in the existing config. By default it will remove emoji but you can disable it by setting the new 'emoji' regex to False. I also added some documentation:

   http://nameparser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/customize.html#don-t-remove-emojis

   It would be nice if you could give it a try before I push an updated release to pypi:

   pip install -e git+git:https://github.com/derek73/python-nameparser.git#egg=nameparser

   Let me know if any problems or other ideas.

   Confirmed working for the following test case on python 3.5.

   Input:
   John Doe 😀☁

   Output:
   first: John
   middle:
   last:Doe

   Thanks for the quick turnaround!
