 Get the real length of a string - by correctly counting astral symbols and ignoring [ansi escape codes](https://github.com/sindresorhus/strip-ansi).
 
 `String#length` errornously counts [astral symbols](https://web.archive.org/web/20150721114550/http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/unicode_astral.html) as two characters.

+@example
+```
+import stringLength from 'string-length';
+
+'🐴'.length;
+//=> 2
+
+stringLength('🐴');
+//=> 1
+
+stringLength('\u001B[1municorn\u001B[22m');
+//=> 7
