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.

CHECKLIST FOR ADDING A NEW FILE TO EMACS -*- outline -*-

** Make sure the author(s) have a copyright assignment/disclaimer.

** Make sure the file matches the standard Emacs template (header
format, copyright and license notice, etc).

** Make sure the filename does not cause the DOS port any problems (8+3).
Run the `doschk' program like this:

    find /path/to/emacs -print | doschk

and examine the output for DOS-related problems.  The sections of
output under the headings "The following files are not valid DOS file
names:" and "The following resolve to the same DOS file names:" should
not include any files that end up in the release tarball.

** Make the ChangeLog entry in the name of the author(s), not your own name.

** If appropriate, add an entry to lisp/Makefile.in ELCFILES.

** If appropriate, check that the file compiles OK and that Emacs
builds fine with it.  Address any compilation warnings.

** If a major contribution, consider adding an entry to the
Acknowledgments in doc/emacs/emacs.texi and ack.texi.

** If appropriate, add a short NEWS entry.

** If appropriate, update make-dist (not needed with "standard" file
names, eg *.el).
