Again, I think that Yazdipour's approach here is anachronistic -- with
all due respect. But if this is indeed the case, then this tells me that
there is no Omega code in TeX-e-Parsi at all. So in effect you are
asking that luatex ditch the entire bidi model it has and replace it
with TeX-e-Parsi's. Then we have to hook that in to pdf output and many
other things. Given the stability and polish of the bidi engine as it
stands I am not sure this is wise at the moment
indeed. the multi direction engine will stay, but it might be improved
(for instance we will carry around more info in nodes esp par related
issues demand this);
on the other hand, the omega approach using otp filtering is no longer
that relevant (nor are omega fonts) so hose bits and pieces of the code
are still there but kind of obsolete
maye e-parsi has some interesting concepts that we can add, but it can
never replace fundamental mechanisms, only extend them
The apparent verbatim bug is there, on the first page of global_rl2.pdf,
but other than that bidi is quite solid.
verbatim is mostly a macro package issue (i'll deal with in mkiv)
