there is something mentioned in followingup-directions.tex

i removed top to bottom directions from luametatex because it made no 
sense; one cannot do vertical typesettign without also looking at the 
layout and other things

instead of directions we do rotation at the glyph level and such which 
has less interference and more flexible

but ... i haven't looked at it recently (could be broken by other 
features) as there is little demand for it
