for the moment i did
\def\startMPLIBtoPDF#1#2#3#4% watch the transparency reset
{\naturalhbox\bgroup
(as \naturalhbox is the official way)
this keeps the internal direction (in textext) the same as the outer one
idris: we need to discuss what aspects of r-l stay r-l and in what cases
we revert to lr (as here) or even to lr inside constructs
it depends a bit on general rules for arabic typesetting
