/**
 * This class implements the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.
 * <p>
 * A Bidi object provides information on the bidirectional reordering of the text
 * used to create it.  This is required, for example, to properly display Arabic
 * or Hebrew text.  These languages are inherently mixed directional, as they order
 * numbers from left-to-right while ordering most other text from right-to-left.
 * <p>
 * Once created, a Bidi object can be queried to see if the text it represents is
 * all left-to-right or all right-to-left.  Such objects are very lightweight and
 * this text is relatively easy to process.
 * <p>
 * If there are multiple runs of text, information about the runs can be accessed
 * by indexing to get the start, limit, and level of a run.  The level represents
 * both the direction and the 'nesting level' of a directional run.  Odd levels
 * are right-to-left, while even levels are left-to-right.  So for example level
 * 0 represents left-to-right text, while level 1 represents right-to-left text, and
 * level 2 represents left-to-right text embedded in a right-to-left run.
