Currently, we are using this only for string-mark-left-to-right, and
performance does not seem to be a problem for that usage.

Also, we only need the "strong R" category.  We could add the "strong L"
category for symmetry, but I don't see the need to add the other bidi
categories until they are called for.

So, I propose adding

 ?L - Strong-L bidi types (L, LRE, LRO)
 ?R - Strong-R bidi types (R, AL, RLE, RLO)

to the standard category table.

Sound fine?
