I gathered that much. I've known ofthis trick being used for inputting
RtL text into non-RtL savvy word processors.
It's just that, in his application area, CGI, that the browser just
might display it as RtL regardless of what he expected.
It sounds like a hack. Should Perl support such hacks in the core?
Is this sofisticated enough, or do we need something more low-level?
$ltr = join '', reverse split /($sequence|.)/, $rtl;
