Thanks, I know vim itself doesn't support bidi, I'm using it with a terminal that (somewhat) supports it (urxvt with a perl plugin). The problem is that I sometimes need to insert explicit direction marks, and I would like them to be displayed properly, i.e., occupy only one cell. Otherwise, the display gets completely garbled.
