I don't understand.  I don't use the hebrew-iso8859-8 charset
directly.  The table code I wrote will assign bidi types to the
characters in hebrew-iso8859-8 just like in all the other 8859
charsets.  And the rest of my code works with these bidi types.

Perhaps this is the wrong way to solve the problem, anyway.  What I'm
trying to do is find a way to implement what Ehud Karni suggested:

I will look at other ways of accomlishing that without introducing
LRM.  Maybe I can just look at the TYPES list somewhere and force one
bidi type or another.
