There's one other complication: to _really_ DTRT, there's one
directional control that needs to be fused with the preceding
character: the PDF, u+202c (POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING). That's
because copy/paste of a portion of text enclosed in, say, LRO...PDF
should keep the visual appearance of that portion of text, and for
that you need to copy it with LRO before and PDF after.
But hard-coding the special treatment of PDF on the C level sounds too
kludgey, no?
