Using LRM is ok, but Emacs should not insert LRM marks on its own in
pure left-to-right text.
I already suggested that `format' could be made responsible for
inserting LRM marks. One possibility would be a special format field
that would send an appropriate mark when left- and righthand side of the
string had differing directionality. Another possibility would be
completely self-organized: namely when otherwise formatting fields would
get split or reordered.
