among the pending issues was 'where do we explicitly need to set it and
when do we need to compensate for it'
for some reason inserts (the figure) are sensitive to it and it might be
some interference as well as a missing explicit dir reversal
[omega provides these mechanisms but i think that there was never a full
blown macro package using them, i.e. mixed direction support and such;
there might be many places where we need to add dir-checking code to
context; a few places already have it]
