The new behavior of indent-rigidly in Emacs 24.4 seems to be
inconsistent with our existing handling of right-to-left text.
In right-to-left text, the left and right arrow keys move in the visual
sense (whereas C-f and C-b move in the logical sense). However, when
you call `C-x TAB' (indent-rigidly) to activate the new transient mode
for adjusting indentation interactively, the left key indents the text
rightward, and the right key indents the text leftward.
I think these subcommands should check current-bidi-paragraph-direction,
and indent in the visual sense. Any objections?
