default), Emacs determines the base direction of each paragraph from
its text, as specified by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.
+The function `current-bidi-paragraph-direction' returns the actual
+value of paragraph base direction at point.
+
Reordering of bidirectional text for display in Emacs is a "Full
bidirectionality" class implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional
Algorithm.
