Recent experimentation with bidi reordering algorithms brings up some
questions.  I am told (by native speakers) that the expression "-10%" is
written "%-10" in Persian and "%10-" in Arabic.  How is it written in Hebrew?
Thaana?  Syriac?  Are implementers using explicit bidi codes to reorder
expressions like this?
