That's an excellent question, one that I meant to raise a bit later,
but since we are talking...
I think in -batch mode Emacs should not reorder bidirectional text.
Mainly because if the underlying terminal is bidi-aware, it will
reorder it by itself, and if it isn't aware, most probably it doesn't
support the corresponding scripts anyway, and scripts that need
reordering will come out garbled.
So I think bidi-display-reordering should be set early during startup,
but only in interactive sessions, i.e. dynamically.
