Retrospective commit from 2009-10-05. Continue working on paragraph base direction. Support per-buffer default paragraph direction. buffer.h (struct buffer): New member paragraph_direction. buffer.c (init_buffer_once): Initialize it. (syms_of_buffer): Declare Lisp variables default-paragraph-direction and paragraph-direction. dispextern.h (struct it): New member paragraph_embedding. xdisp.c (init_iterator): Initialize it from the buffer's value of paragraph-direction. <Qright_to_left, Qleft_to_right>: New variables. (syms_of_xdisp): Initialize and staticpro them. (set_iterator_to_next, next_element_from_buffer): Use the value of paragraph_embedding to determine the paragraph direction. bidi.c (bidi_line_init): Fix second argument to bidi_set_sor_type. (bidi_init_it): Initialize paragraph_dir to NEUTRAL_DIR. (bidi_get_next_char_visually): Record the last character of the separator in separator_limit, not the character after that. (bidi_find_paragraph_start): Accept character and byte positions instead of the whole iterator stricture. All callers changed.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
