Which thereby makes a generic solution impossible. Omega translation
processing struggled with this mix of 'pure text', 'macro expansion',
'packages content' and it never worked out in complex situations. For me
this is a pretty good reason for not adding any hard coded bidi (or foo
or bar or whatever) behavior to core luatex but stick to either external
libraries (preprocessing or whatever) and/or solutions written in lua
that nicely interact with the macro packages concepts. (Well, that's the
main reason for having lua as extension language in the first place).
