Would this change in bidi_get_type suffice to implement non-bidi
display?  (In addition, one needs to define the option
display-bidi-flag, etc.)

This is partly based on guessing, so maybe it is wrong.  (I don't know
to test it.)  But, if it is wrong, I think you would see in a second
what's wrong, and maybe you could make it right in another minute.

If it is really as easy as this, why say no?
