do we really want non-displaying characters in acme/rio?  how does one
deal with selection (have i selected this zero-width character i've
just clicked on or not?)

and if i've got l-r and r-l text on the same line, and i drag a
selection...  how can it work?  either i've got a discontinuous
selection in the underlying file, or a discontinuous selection on
screen.

glyphs as display markup don't make a great deal of sense to me (but
i'm sure others will tell me they're the only way forward).

bidi *display*, certainly.

but in rio/acme... bad idea, i think.
