I entirely agree that this is by far the best solution; what I would like
to suggest is that fribidi_log2vis has an extra input parameter
char_types, a pointer to an array of FribidiCharType, that, if not
NULL, will contain precomputed character types (with values < 0
indicating that the character type for that particular character should
be looked up from the Unicode tables). I would also like to be able to
pass the function a meaninful array of FribidiCharType's, but NULLs
in place of the str and visual_str parameters, in which case the
character type lookup would be completely bypassed, and no
visual_str would be computed, only the position arrays and
embeding levels.
