What confusion are you referring to?
Not being sure about the order, in the buffer, of the characters you see
on the screen.
Are we talking about a buffer
with or without R2L characters?
It would have to be a case where characters that have bidi
significance are present. If there are none, there is no reordering,
thus no possibility it can cause confusion.
And how would setting
bidi-display-reordering to nil resolve that confusion?
You would see all the characters in the order that they
appear in the buffer.
I don't envision anyone would want to edit this way. But it could be
useful to look at this kind of display once in a while.
Because the unidirectional display will one day go away, and having a
user option will be an obstacle to getting rid of it.
Why should it ever be deleted? What is gained by deleting it?
