// The following functionality would not be hard to implement, but hinges on
// the definition of a Segmenter interface. For now this is up to the user.
// - Iterate over paragraphs
// - Segmenter to iterate over runs directly from a given text.
// Also:
// - Transformer for reordering?
// - Transformer (validator, really) for Bidi Rule.

// This API tries to avoid dealing with embedding levels for now. Under the hood
// these will be computed, but the question is to which extent the user should
// know they exist. We should at some point allow the user to specify an
// embedding hierarchy, though.
