If the insertion of special symbols can make the behavior of "special" 
buffers (like dired, Gnus summary etc) robust/correct, I see no problem 
in doing so always, not only in presence of R2L text. The prompt 
described above can only appear if one doesn't use Unicode and wants to 
save a special buffer (like dired) to a file. The combination of such 
events seems extremely rare (although not improbable, of course).

However if the special direction symbols will start to leak into some 
"usual" buffers, like programming language/xml modes, that might become 
a problem. Now if an UTF-8 buffer contains only latin characters, it's 
also ASCII. This is very common for a program source to be ASCII-only. 
But if special symbols are added to it by Emacs, it's no more ASCII and 
there is no guarantee that is will then correctly be compiled by another 
program.

Just an opinion from a L2R user here.

Best wishes,

Frankly, I doubt that there is a single source file with R2L comments in 
the world, let alone R2L identifiers. That would be funny to read ;-) 
Even Cyrillic comments in source code are not that common.

Unlike "special" and plain-text buffers, the bidirectionalization of 
programming modes just seems to have very little to no value right now.
