You are suggesting to insert bidirectional format characters into the
buffer text in order to affect the display. That's a no-no, IMO:
Emacs should not modify buffer text for display purposes. If we do
what you propose, we will open a can of worms, whereby bugs or crashes
will cause Emacs to produce a file that is different from input, even
if you didn't edit the file at all.
