I wasn't talking about identifiers. I don't know how many comments in R2L languages are out there, but I hope you will agree that strings with R2L text are a definite possibility, and should be supported. > Unlike "special" and plain-text buffers, the bidirectionalization of > programming modes just seems to have very little to no value right now. Which is why the relevant support for them was not the 1st priority. But that doesn't mean we need to dismiss it as something to be supported in the future.
