First I proposed an interface that would return a representation of
the bidi context that affects a certain region. This representation
would NOT include the text of that region. It would only represent
the context _around_ that region, not the contents of that region.
Along with that I proposed a function to convert that representation
of context into magic bidi characters that will reproduce that context.
The second proposed interface would copy the text of a region, while
adding to it something to reproduce the bidi effect of its context.
