I absolutely agree with Eli, that getting reasonable Bidi display when editing source code in Emacs is feasible, for the very reason that emacs is *syntax aware*. As long as the syntax is understood, it is possible to make sure that the various syntax elements (keywords, strings, comments) are hand
