recommendation: put nerd-icons-dired and nerd-icons-completion in this repo

[milanglacier]

minibuffer completion and dired are emacs builtin features. I see no reasons why we don't want to put those two extensions into this repo. They can be separated files, but including them in this repo makes totally sense.

It's like consult has included many extensions like consult-buffer, consult-ripgrep stuffs in the consult repo.

Actually this makes sense. I'll consider this. :)

Pros for this consideration:

since this is a new project, we want this project gain popularity as quick as possible. Putting essential features into separate repos is definitely not a good decision since I can bet 99% of users want to display icons in minibuffer and dired and they need to visit multiple repos and install many packages for one thing.

Also for ibuffer? It's here currently, and already been released to melpa.

I don't think it's a big problem, whatever they are merged into one repo. Same situation for all-the-icons. It's just a core, and other packages are extensions.

I've also created a simple plugin for buffer-menu, see jcs-elpa/nerd-icons-buffer-menu. :D

It seems silly to install a new package for each tiny feature where the Readme plus Cask is about the same size as the package itself.

Counter argument: this would make it harder (impossible?) to communicate API breaking changes via git tags and semantic versioning at the level of granularity of those extensions.
