-- When we started with this, there were some issues in luatex so we needed to take care of
-- intereferences. Some has been improved but we stil might end up with each node having a
-- dir property. Now, the biggest problem is that there is an official bidi algorithm but
-- some searching on the web shows that there are many confusing aspects and therefore
-- proposals circulate about (sometimes imcompatible ?) improvements. In the end it all boils
-- down to the lack of willingness to tag an input source. Of course tagging of each number
-- and fenced strip is somewhat over the top, but now it has to be captured in logic. Texies
-- normally have no problem with tagging but we need to handle any input. So, what we have
-- done here (over the years) is starting from what we expect to see happen, especially with
-- respect to punctation, numbers and fences. Eventually alternative algorithms will be provides
-- so that users can choose (the reason why suggestion sfor improvements circulate on the web
-- is that it is non trivial to predict the expected behaviour so one hopes that the ditor
-- and the rest of the machinery match somehow. Anyway, the fun of tex is that it has no hard
-- coded behavior. And ... we also want to have more debugging and extras and ... so we want
-- a flexible approach. In the end we will have:
--
-- = full tagging (mechanism turned off)
-- = half tagging (the current implementation)
-- = unicode version x interpretation (several depending on the evolution)
