Yes. Which JSON isn't. But most PL modes have comments and strings,
and that's where this is important.

I presume that JSON files are rarely for human consumption, so the
strings are not very important. And they will rarely include R2L
characters to begin with.

If and when that happens, users can turn BPA back on.

Yes (IIUC what you mean by that). The effect back happens rarer than
forward, but it does happen.
