bidi problems with Hello

bzr trunk has some odd bidi problems with HELLO file.
1. The RLM character is visible (This is not a bidi problem, but still
is a problem).
2. There is an additinal parenthesis
3. The tabbing is incorrect

Attached are two screenshots demonstrating the problem.
This is the trunk HELLO file with trunk emacs and emacs with 23.

These all are because character compositions don't yet work with bidi
reordering.  When they will, the RLM character will be composed with
the open parenthesis that follows it, and will become invisible.  And
the extra close parenthesis will disappear.  Alignment being incorrect
is a side effect of these two.

This is a known problem.  Handa-san is helping me to resolve it.
