+Here is the list as of Unicode 3.1.0 (the two-letter classes) and
+Perl 5.8.0 (the one-letter classes):

+(for example Hebrew is written right to left), all characters
+have their directionality defined:

+   BidiLRE Left-to-Right Embedding
+   BidiLRO Left-to-Right Override
+   BidiR   Right-to-Left
