Dear Emacs Devs,

I am interested in editing text in boustrophedon [writing like an ox 
turns in the field] as it is more comfortable/efficient to read.

In boustrophedon the first line is left to right, the characters and 
text on the next line are right to left. These alternate reducing eye 
movement.

There are some good points on boustrophedon typesetting here:

My question is, would it be good to have generic support for this?
