[NTG-context] rsteps module conflicts with s-pre-13?
hello, I am making a presentation with `s-pre-13', and it seems module `rsteps' conflicts with it. use the example in t-rsteps.tex, but replace `pre-original' with 's-pre-13'. % <<<>>>END mini example The error is: [1.1] !

Let's get even more funky: we could define "text direction classes" such that switching from LR to RL automatically switches from, say, the latin group (or cyrillic) to the arabic group (or hebrew), and direction switching could be done using the appropriate unicode characters instead of control sequences (ie, unicode direction charaters should be made active).
