/*
 * A BidiRow object stores the BiDi mapping between logical and visual positions
 * for one visual line of text. (Characters are always shuffled within a line,
 * never across lines.)
 *
 * It also stores additional per-character properties: the character's direction
 * (needed for mirroring and mouse selecting) and Arabic shaping (as currently
 * done using presentation form characters, although HarfBuzz would probably be
 * a better approach).
 *
 * There are per-line properties as well, which are actually per-paragraph
 * properties stored for each line: the overall potentially autodetected
 * direction (needed for keyboard arrow swapping), and whether the paragraph
 * contains any foreign direction character (used for the cursor shape).
 *
 * Note that the trivial LTR mapping, with no RTL or shaped characters at all,
 * might be denoted by setting the BidiRow's width to 0.
 *
 * BidiRunner is a collection of methods that run the BiDi algorithm on one
 * paragraph of RingView, and stores the result in BidiRow objects.
 *
 * BiDi is implemented according to Terminal-wg/bidi v0.2:
 * https://terminal-wg.pages.freedesktop.org/bidi/

         *
         * This string consists of:
         * - English letter A
         * - Hebrew word Shalom:
         *     - Letter Shin: ש
         *         - Combining accent Qamats
         *         - Combining accent Shin Dot
         *     - Letter Lamed: ל

         * Features of this example:

         * - Combining accents within RTL
         * - Double width character with RTL resolved direction
         * - A mapping that is not its own inverse (due to the digits being LTR inside RTL inside LTR),
         *   to help catch if we'd look up something in the wrong direction
         *
         * Not demonstrated in this example:
         * - Wrapping a paragraph to lines

         * To get the visual order: walk in the new fribidi_map, and for each real entry look up the
         * logical terminal column using fribidi_to_term:
         * - map[0] is 0, to_term[0] is 0, hence visual column 0 belongs to logical column 0 (A)
         * - map[1] is 11, to_term[11] is 9, hence visual column 1 belongs to logical column 9 (Alef)
         * - map[2] is 10, to_term[10] is 7, row_data[7] is the "<" sign
         *     - this is a double wide character, we need to map the next two visual cells to two logical cells
         *     - due to levels[10] being odd, this character has a resolved RTL direction
         *     - thus we map in reverse order: visual 2 <=> logical 8, visual 3 <=> logical 7
         *     - the glyph is also mirrorable, it'll be displayed accordingly
         * - [3] -> 8 -> 5, so visual 4 <=> logical 5 (One)
         * - [4] -> 9 -> 6, so visual 5 <=> logical 6 (Two)
         * - [5] -> 7 -> 4, so visual 6 <=> logical 4 (Mem, the last, leftmost letter of Shalom)
         * - [6] -> 5 -> 3, so visual 7 <=> logical 3 (Vav+hol)
         * - [7] -> -1, skipped
         * - [8] -> 4 -> 2, so visual 8 <=> logical 2 (Lam)
         * - [9] -> 1 -> 1, so visual 9 <=> logical 1 (Shin+qam+dot, the first, rightmost letter of Shalom)
         * - [10] -> -1, skipped
         * - [11] -> -1, skipped
         *
         * Silly FriBidi API almost allows us to skip one level of indirection, by placing the to_term values
