Retrospective commit from 2009-09-27. Support character mirroring. Support iteration that starts in the middle of a line. Misc cleanups. xdisp.c (next_element_from_buffer): If called not at line beginning, start bidi iteration from line beginning. bidi.c (bidi_paragraph_init): Use bidi_overriding_paragraph_direction instead of a literal zero. (bidi_initialize): Fix some character types, per Unicode 5.x. (bidi_get_type): Abort if called with invalid character code. dispextern.h: Add prototype of bidi_mirror_char. xdisp.c (get_next_display_element): Mirror characters whose resolved type is STRONG_R.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
