That sounds like one vote for renaming that file.
"BidirectionalTextLayout.cpp" :)
Or maybe BidirectionalWordSorting or similar. Mitz and Hyatt are
two of very few to ever have hacked on that file.
"bidi" is a pretty common term of art. Also, the code in the file does
more than just bidi handling, so LineLayout.cpp as Hyatt suggested may
be the best name. I don't think "BidirectionalWordSorting" would be
right - bidi applies at boundaries between right-to-left and left-to-
right text, which are not directly related to word boundaries.

"Bidi" is an abbreviation for "bidirectional text", and refers to
blocks
of text that use both left-to-right and right-to-left scripts (e.g. a
paragraph with English text that also includes some Arabic text).
