Sure, although it can be close to okay with some backward and forward 
scanning but I'm nbot really in the mood for that now. Anyhow, for the 
occasional mix of arabic and latin this method works ok. For more 
extreme cases method 'one' will do and method 'two' ... well it depends 
on developments in unicode as this method will be the more configurable 
one. (And I can probably make a faster implementation of method two when 
performance matters.)
