I am all for it.
Permit me to make a few additional very minor
suggestions that build on what you suggested.
- Let's add a bidi- prefix to these function
names.
- Let's have two functions instead of one.
The one with -perhaps- does the if, the one
without does it always.
- Let's put these is a file like bidi-kit.el
somewhere on the trunk soon. So we can use them
right away. It could be right next to
bidi-menu.el starting point that suggested
previously.
Note that when the -perhaps- version is used,
non-RTL script (e.g., ascii), remains pure ...
Thanks,
...Mohsen
