Nope--can't see it there. The onlything I can see in the regtest is 
markup-bidi-pango.ly, which seems to cheat a little bit!

I've grepped through CVS and the only likely things I can find are in 
define-grob-properties.scm and define-markup-commands.scm. Unfortunately I'm 
not able to glean from those how it should be done.
