Is there something like make-obsolete-variable for this case that would
give a warning in init.el on this variable?
I am not the only one setting it to nil
https://github.com/search?q=setq+bidi-display-reordering+nil&type=code
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/21761/730 :) so a warning might stop
some other poor user from wasting half a day on a pointless debugging
mission.
(The manual also mentions the variable's effect without saying you
shouldn't set it
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Bidirectional-Editing.html
)
