Not global, buffer-specific. Whether stopping or not on script
boundaries depends on the specific mix of scripts in the buffer.
If that is so, we need to identify the different kinds of situations,
in terms of which scripts they combine and what behavior users want.
Then we should try to work out a way for Emacs to recognize these situations
and DTRT for each one.
