What the code was meant to do, written into the code itself as a docstring

Get the cell length of a string (length as it appears in the terminal). Args: text: String to measure. unicode_version: Unicode version, `"auto"` to auto detect, `"latest"` for the latest unicode version. Returns: Length of string in terminal cells.

The check that tells the two apart

fail→pass·tests/test_cells.py::test_split_graphemes[\U0001f469\u200d\U0001f527-expected_spans5-2]

Check file tests/test_cells.py, taken without changes from the fix and copied onto the older code, so the exact same check runs against both versions.
