Couldn’t the core of this be implemented in redisplay instead of in Lisp?
(I’m assuming it places overlays in the buffer.)

Users can change it the way the want it.
Aquamacs just sets a different default, as it does with a lot of settings.

The reason why I’m doing this is that otherwise, left/right keys do not move 
left/right movement of the cursor (in RTL or mixed text), and that would be 
incoherent with other situations in the system where users edit RTL text.

Do you have a better suggestion?
