Yes, of course.  But when bidi-display-reordering is turned on by
default, bidi_init will _always_ load these 2 files at startup,
whenever it needs to display the first thing on the Emacs frame (mode
line or menu/tool bar, I think).  AFAIK, it has been our policy since
before I remember to preload every Lisp file that is always loaded at
startup.
