In that case, it's not a very good idea, IMO.  First, some buffers are
read-only.  Second, when the display is sufficiently jumbled by
directional controls, users who are not acquainted with bidi will have
trouble figuring out where to insert the newlines.  Even I sometimes
fail to insert them in the correct position.
