I'm clear on that. :) What I'm worried about is the scenario
where someone mistakenly implements forward/backward on top of
left/right, or left/right on top of forward/backward -- does
that make sense? So they either map "forward means right" or
"right means forward" in their heads (and their code), and it's
only valid for left-to-right text. Then either the cursor keys
or the C-f/C-b shortcuts break in right-to-left (depending on
which way their mistake went).
