No, they are very important to native speakers but few of them seek perfectness.

I am sorry I am not a developer _yet_ but is interested in becoming so soon so will you please point out what the problem that this lib solves. What's its scope (Do I need it if I am going to use Qt or GTK)? Who will need it? What are the other alternatives and why this one? Also, when I tested from the Demo on the website it seems as if it doesn't conform to Unicode BIDI. If I type Arabic then English, it doesn't behave as should be, at least AFAIk.
