Right, that's what we do in the code too

Yeah, that's what I was referring to as "index maps" earlier. I think we should be fine to add them, but it should be a decent API. We might want...

@sffc we still need some kind of intermediate API exposed from unicode_bidi for this, yes? any idea what it should look like?

ah, i see. wouldn't that involve querying the bidi data over ffi in a loop, though? might have perf issues.

Right, but we still need lower level APIs that produce those level maps, yes?

Though it's possible that's already exposed by unicode-bidi by virtue of most fields being public

Ah, I imagined that they got it from ubidi apis

Ah, I was under the impression Younies had done that too (from his comment) and I just hadn't seen the PR. Should have looked closer at the PR link!
