This is because date and phone expressions use them (dash and slash),
and they are more common than math expressions.  I think this was a good
decision.

I think one intuitive way might be to supply the user a "change cursor
direction" command and inserting LRM/RLM when this is done.  At a later
stage (cursor movement, end of paragraph) we might want to remove
redundant formatting character from the buffer.
