we have kind of conflicting demands ... bibi directives as well as
auto-bidi (using properties) is unaware of grouping
also, we can have \textdir directives and what should then have priority
it is no problem to have more 'bidi handling modes' but at some point
choices have to be made by users: depend n bidi only, depend on textdir
only, use (maybe onf of many) ways to mix bidi/textdir
best is that you and idris explore this area keeping 'usability' in mind
