That should work for Ibn Saeed, but it's not a complete solution. For
example it does not work if one wants to write "page x of y" instead, with
"page" and "y" written in Arabic/Persian. Then the text of the header is
partly LTR and part RTL.
This is still simple and I can use my hacky solution and mix \lefttoright
and \righttoleft to get it right. But is it possible to extend the
\setupdirections[bidi=on] to apply to parts other than the main text? I
just noticed this does not apply to footnotes either. Having numbers in
the TRL footnote text produces incorrect typesetting.
