/* FOOD FOR THOUGHT: currently the reordering modes are a mixture of
 * algorithm for direct BiDi, algorithm for inverse Bidi and the bizarre
 * concept of RUNS_ONLY which is a double operation.
 * It could be advantageous to divide this into 3 concepts:
 * a) Operation: direct / inverse / RUNS_ONLY
 * b) Direct algorithm: default / NUMBERS_SPECIAL / GROUP_NUMBERS_WITH_L
 * c) Inverse algorithm: default / INVERSE_LIKE_DIRECT / NUMBERS_SPECIAL
 * This would allow combinations not possible today like RUNS_ONLY with
 * NUMBERS_SPECIAL.
 * Also allow to set INSERT_MARKS for the direct step of RUNS_ONLY and
 * REMOVE_CONTROLS for the inverse step.
 * Not all combinations would be supported, and probably not all do make sense.
 * This would need to document which ones are supported and what are the
 * fallbacks for unsupported combinations.

/**
 *
 * <h2>Bidi algorithm for ICU</h2>
 *
 * This is an implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. The
 * algorithm is defined in the <a
 * href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/">Unicode Standard Annex #9</a>.
 * <p>
 *
 * Note: Libraries that perform a bidirectional algorithm and reorder strings
 * accordingly are sometimes called "Storage Layout Engines". ICU's Bidi and
 * shaping (ArabicShaping) classes can be used at the core of such "Storage
 * Layout Engines".
 *
 * <h3>General remarks about the API:</h3>
 *
 * The &quot;limit&quot; of a sequence of characters is the position just after
 * their last character, i.e., one more than that position.
 * <p>
 *
 * Some of the API methods provide access to &quot;runs&quot;. Such a
 * &quot;run&quot; is defined as a sequence of characters that are at the same
 * embedding level after performing the Bidi algorithm.
 *
 * <h3>Basic concept: paragraph</h3>
 * A piece of text can be divided into several paragraphs by characters
 * with the Bidi class <code>Block Separator</code>. For handling of
 * paragraphs, see:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #countParagraphs}
 * <li>{@link #getParaLevel}
 * <li>{@link #getParagraph}
 * <li>{@link #getParagraphByIndex}
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Basic concept: text direction</h3>
 * The direction of a piece of text may be:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #LTR}
 * <li>{@link #RTL}
 * <li>{@link #MIXED}
 * <li>{@link #NEUTRAL}
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Basic concept: levels</h3>
 *
 * Levels in this API represent embedding levels according to the Unicode
 * Bidirectional Algorithm.
 * Their low-order bit (even/odd value) indicates the visual direction.<p>
 *
 * Levels can be abstract values when used for the
 * <code>paraLevel</code> and <code>embeddingLevels</code>
 * arguments of <code>setPara()</code>; there:
 * <ul>
 * <li>the high-order bit of an <code>embeddingLevels[]</code>
 * value indicates whether the using application is
 * specifying the level of a character to <i>override</i> whatever the
 * Bidi implementation would resolve it to.</li>
 * <li><code>paraLevel</code> can be set to the
 * pseudo-level values <code>LEVEL_DEFAULT_LTR</code>
 * and <code>LEVEL_DEFAULT_RTL</code>.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>The related constants are not real, valid level values.
 * <code>DEFAULT_XXX</code> can be used to specify
 * a default for the paragraph level for
 * when the <code>setPara()</code> method
 * shall determine it but there is no
 * strongly typed character in the input.<p>
 *
 * Note that the value for <code>LEVEL_DEFAULT_LTR</code> is even
 * and the one for <code>LEVEL_DEFAULT_RTL</code> is odd,
 * just like with normal LTR and RTL level values -
 * these special values are designed that way. Also, the implementation
 * assumes that MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL is odd.
 *
 * <b>See Also:</b>
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #LEVEL_DEFAULT_LTR}
 * <li>{@link #LEVEL_DEFAULT_RTL}
 * <li>{@link #LEVEL_OVERRIDE}
 * <li>{@link #MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL}
 * <li>{@link #setPara}
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Basic concept: Reordering Mode</h3>
 * Reordering mode values indicate which variant of the Bidi algorithm to
 * use.
 *
 * <b>See Also:</b>
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #setReorderingMode}
 * <li>{@link #REORDER_DEFAULT}
 * <li>{@link #REORDER_NUMBERS_SPECIAL}

 * <li>{@link #REORDER_RUNS_ONLY}
 * <li>{@link #REORDER_INVERSE_NUMBERS_AS_L}
 * <li>{@link #REORDER_INVERSE_LIKE_DIRECT}
 * <li>{@link #REORDER_INVERSE_FOR_NUMBERS_SPECIAL}
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3>Basic concept: Reordering Options</h3>
 * Reordering options can be applied during Bidi text transformations.
 *
 * <b>See Also:</b>
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #setReorderingOptions}
 * <li>{@link #OPTION_DEFAULT}
 * <li>{@link #OPTION_INSERT_MARKS}

 * <h4> Sample code for the ICU Bidi API </h4>
 *
 * <h5>Rendering a paragraph with the ICU Bidi API</h5>
 *
 * This is (hypothetical) sample code that illustrates how the ICU Bidi API
 * could be used to render a paragraph of text. Rendering code depends highly on
 * the graphics system, therefore this sample code must make a lot of
 * assumptions, which may or may not match any existing graphics system's
 * properties.
 *
 * <p>
 * The basic assumptions are:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>Rendering is done from left to right on a horizontal line.</li>
 * <li>A run of single-style, unidirectional text can be rendered at once.
 * </li>
 * <li>Such a run of text is passed to the graphics system with characters
 * (code units) in logical order.</li>
 * <li>The line-breaking algorithm is very complicated and Locale-dependent -
 * and therefore its implementation omitted from this sample code.</li>
 * </ul>

/*
 * General implementation notes:
 *
 * Throughout the implementation, there are comments like (W2) that refer to
 * rules of the BiDi algorithm, in this example to the second rule of the
 * resolution of weak types.
 *
 * For handling surrogate pairs, where two UChar's form one "abstract" (or UTF-32)
 * character according to UTF-16, the second UChar gets the directional property of
 * the entire character assigned, while the first one gets a BN, a boundary
 * neutral, type, which is ignored by most of the algorithm according to
 * rule (X9) and the implementation suggestions of the BiDi algorithm.
 *
 * Later, adjustWSLevels() will set the level for each BN to that of the
 * following character (UChar), which results in surrogate pairs getting the
 * same level on each of their surrogates.
 *
 * In a UTF-8 implementation, the same thing could be done: the last byte of
 * a multi-byte sequence would get the "real" property, while all previous
 * bytes of that sequence would get BN.
 *
 * It is not possible to assign all those parts of a character the same real
 * property because this would fail in the resolution of weak types with rules
 * that look at immediately surrounding types.
 *
 * As a related topic, this implementation does not remove Boundary Neutral
 * types from the input, but ignores them wherever this is relevant.
 * For example, the loop for the resolution of the weak types reads
 * types until it finds a non-BN.
 * Also, explicit embedding codes are neither changed into BN nor removed.
 * They are only treated the same way real BNs are.
 * As stated before, adjustWSLevels() takes care of them at the end.
 * For the purpose of conformance, the levels of all these codes
 * do not matter.
 *
 * Note that this implementation modifies the dirProps
 * after the initial setup, when applying X5c (replace FSI by LRI or RLI),
 * X6, N0 (replace paired brackets by L or R).
 *
 * In this implementation, the resolution of weak types (W1 to W6),
 * neutrals (N1 and N2), and the assignment of the resolved level (In)
 * are all done in one single loop, in resolveImplicitLevels().
 * Changes of dirProp values are done on the fly, without writing
 * them back to the dirProps array.
 *
 *
 * This implementation contains code that allows to bypass steps of the
 * algorithm that are not needed on the specific paragraph
 * in order to speed up the most common cases considerably,
 * like text that is entirely LTR, or RTL text without numbers.
 *
 * Most of this is done by setting a bit for each directional property
 * in a flags variable and later checking for whether there are
 * any LTR characters or any RTL characters, or both, whether
 * there are any explicit embedding codes, etc.
 *
 * If the (Xn) steps are performed, then the flags are re-evaluated,
 * because they will then not contain the embedding codes any more
 * and will be adjusted for override codes, so that subsequently
 * more bypassing may be possible than what the initial flags suggested.
 *
 * If the text is not mixed-directional, then the
 * algorithm steps for the weak type resolution are not performed,
 * and all levels are set to the paragraph level.
 *
 * If there are no explicit embedding codes, then the (Xn) steps
 * are not performed.
 *
 * If embedding levels are supplied as a parameter, then all
 * explicit embedding codes are ignored, and the (Xn) steps
 * are not performed.
 *
 * White Space types could get the level of the run they belong to,
 * and are checked with a test of (flags&MASK_EMBEDDING) to
 * consider if the paragraph direction should be considered in
 * the flags variable.
 *
 * If there are no White Space types in the paragraph, then
 * (L1) is not necessary in adjustWSLevels().

     * <br>
     * The differences between the basic algorithm and the algorithm addressed

     * <ul>
     *   <li>Within text at an even embedding level, the sequence "123AB"
     *   (where AB represent R or AL letters) is transformed to "123BA" by the
     *   Unicode algorithm and to "BA123" by the Windows algorithm.</li>
     *
     *   <li>Arabic-Indic numbers (AN) are handled by the Windows algorithm just
     *   like regular numbers (EN).</li>
     * </ul></li>
     *
     * <li>When the reordering mode is set to
     * <code>REORDER_GROUP_NUMBERS_WITH_R</code>,
     * numbers located between LTR text and RTL text are associated with the RTL
     * text. For instance, an LTR paragraph with content "abc 123 DEF" (where
     * upper case letters represent RTL characters) will be transformed to
     * "abc FED 123" (and not "abc 123 FED"), "DEF 123 abc" will be transformed
     * to "123 FED abc" and "123 FED abc" will be transformed to "DEF 123 abc".
     * This makes the algorithm reversible and makes it useful when round trip
     * (from visual to logical and back to visual) must be achieved without
     * adding LRM characters. However, this is a variation from the standard
     * Unicode Bidi algorithm.<br>
     * The source text should not contain Bidi control characters other than LRM
     * or RLM.</li>
     *
     * <li>When the reordering mode is set to
     * <code>REORDER_RUNS_ONLY</code>,
     * a "Logical to Logical" transformation must be performed:
     * <ul>
     * <li>If the default text level of the source text (argument
     * <code>paraLevel</code> in <code>setPara</code>) is even, the source text
     * will be handled as LTR logical text and will be transformed to the RTL
     * logical text which has the same LTR visual display.</li>
     * <li>If the default level of the source text is odd, the source text
     * will be handled as RTL logical text and will be transformed to the
     * LTR logical text which has the same LTR visual display.</li>
     * </ul>
     * This mode may be needed when logical text which is basically Arabic or
     * Hebrew, with possible included numbers or phrases in English, has to be
     * displayed as if it had an even embedding level (this can happen if the
     * displaying application treats all text as if it was basically LTR).
     * <br>
     * This mode may also be needed in the reverse case, when logical text which
     * is basically English, with possible included phrases in Arabic or Hebrew,
     * has to be displayed as if it had an odd embedding level.
     * <br>
     * Both cases could be handled by adding LRE or RLE at the head of the
     * text, if the display subsystem supports these formatting controls. If it
     * does not, the problem may be handled by transforming the source text in
     * this mode before displaying it, so that it will be displayed properly.
     * <br>
     * The source text should not contain Bidi control characters other than LRM
     * or RLM.</li>
     *
     * <li>When the reordering mode is set to
     * <code>REORDER_INVERSE_NUMBERS_AS_L</code>, an "inverse Bidi"
     * algorithm is applied.
     * Runs of text with numeric characters will be treated like LTR letters and
     * may need to be surrounded with LRM characters when they are written in
     * reordered sequence (the option <code>INSERT_LRM_FOR_NUMERIC</code> can
     * be used with method <code>writeReordered</code> to this end. This mode
     * is equivalent to calling <code>setInverse()</code> with
     * argument <code>isInverse</code> set to <code>true</code>.</li>
     *
     * <li>When the reordering mode is set to
     * <code>REORDER_INVERSE_LIKE_DIRECT</code>, the "direct" Logical to
     * Visual Bidi algorithm is used as an approximation of an "inverse Bidi"
     * algorithm. This mode is similar to mode
     * <code>REORDER_INVERSE_NUMBERS_AS_L</code> but is closer to the
     * regular Bidi algorithm.
     * <br>
     * For example, an LTR paragraph with the content "FED 123 456 CBA" (where
     * upper case represents RTL characters) will be transformed to
     * "ABC 456 123 DEF", as opposed to "DEF 123 456 ABC"
     * with mode <code>REORDER_INVERSE_NUMBERS_AS_L</code>.<br>
     * When used in conjunction with option
     * <code>OPTION_INSERT_MARKS</code>, this mode generally
     * adds Bidi marks to the output significantly more sparingly than mode
     * <code>REORDER_INVERSE_NUMBERS_AS_L</code>.<br> with option
     * <code>INSERT_LRM_FOR_NUMERIC</code> in calls to
     * <code>writeReordered</code>.</li>
     *
     * <li>When the reordering mode is set to
     * <code>REORDER_INVERSE_FOR_NUMBERS_SPECIAL</code>, the Logical to Visual
     * Bidi algorithm used in Windows XP is used as an approximation of an "inverse
     * Bidi" algorithm.
     * <br>
     * For example, an LTR paragraph with the content "abc FED123" (where
     * upper case represents RTL characters) will be transformed to
     * "abc 123DEF.</li>
     * </ul>
     *
     * <p>In all the reordering modes specifying an "inverse Bidi" algorithm
     * (i.e. those with a name starting with <code>REORDER_INVERSE</code>),
     * output runs should be retrieved using <code>getVisualRun()</code>, and
     * the output text with <code>writeReordered()</code>. The caller should
     * keep in mind that in "inverse Bidi" modes the input is actually visually
     * ordered text and reordered output returned by <code>getVisualRun()</code>
     * or <code>writeReordered()</code> are actually runs or character string
     * of logically ordered output.<br>
     * For all the "inverse Bidi" modes, the source text should not contain
     * Bidi control characters other than LRM or RLM.
     *
     * <p>Note that option <code>OUTPUT_REVERSE</code> of
     * <code>writeReordered</code> has no useful meaning and should not be used
     * in conjunction with any value of the reordering mode specifying "inverse
     * Bidi" or with value <code>REORDER_RUNS_ONLY</code>.
     *

           receive level 1. However, this changes the preceding

 * Resolve the explicit levels as specified by explicit embedding codes.
 * Recalculate the flags to have them reflect the real properties
 * after taking the explicit embeddings into account.
 *
 * The BiDi algorithm is designed to result in the same behavior whether embedding
 * levels are externally specified (from "styled text", supposedly the preferred
 * method) or set by explicit embedding codes (LRx, RLx, PDF, FSI, PDI) in the plain text.
 * That is why (X9) instructs to remove all not-isolate explicit codes (and BN).
 * However, in a real implementation, the removal of these codes and their index
 * positions in the plain text is undesirable since it would result in
 * reallocated, reindexed text.
 * Instead, this implementation leaves the codes in there and just ignores them
 * in the subsequent processing.
 * In order to get the same reordering behavior, positions with a BN or a not-isolate
 * explicit embedding code just get the same level assigned as the last "real"
 * character.
 *
 * Some implementations, not this one, then overwrite some of these
 * directionality properties at "real" same-level-run boundaries by
 * L or R codes so that the resolution of weak types can be performed on the
 * entire paragraph at once instead of having to parse it once more and
 * perform that resolution on same-level-runs.
 * This limits the scope of the implicit rules in effectively
 * the same way as the run limits.
 *
 * Instead, this implementation does not modify these codes, except for
 * paired brackets whose properties (ON) may be replaced by L or R.
 * On one hand, the paragraph has to be scanned for same-level-runs, but
 * on the other hand, this saves another loop to reset these codes,
 * or saves making and modifying a copy of dirProps[].
 *
 *
 * Note that (Pn) and (Xn) changed significantly from version 4 of the BiDi algorithm.
 *
 *
 * Handling the stack of explicit levels (Xn):
 *
 * With the BiDi stack of explicit levels, as pushed with each
 * LRE, RLE, LRO, RLO, LRI, RLI and FSI and popped with each PDF and PDI,
 * the explicit level must never exceed MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL.
 *
 * In order to have a correct push-pop semantics even in the case of overflows,
 * overflow counters and a valid isolate counter are used as described in UAX#9
 * section 3.3.2 "Explicit Levels and Directions".
 *
 * This implementation assumes that MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL is odd.
 *
 * Returns the direction

    /**
     * Set the context before a call to setPara().<p>
     *
     * setPara() computes the left-right directionality for a given piece
     * of text which is supplied as one of its arguments. Sometimes this piece
     * of text (the "main text") should be considered in context, because text
     * appearing before ("prologue") and/or after ("epilogue") the main text
     * may affect the result of this computation.<p>
     *
     * This function specifies the prologue and/or the epilogue for the next
     * call to setPara(). If successive calls to setPara()
     * all need specification of a context, setContext() must be called
     * before each call to setPara(). In other words, a context is not
     * "remembered" after the following successful call to setPara().<p>
     *
     * If a call to setPara() specifies DEFAULT_LTR or
     * DEFAULT_RTL as paraLevel and is preceded by a call to
     * setContext() which specifies a prologue, the paragraph level will
     * be computed taking in consideration the text in the prologue.<p>
     *
     * When setPara() is called without a previous call to
     * setContext, the main text is handled as if preceded and followed
     * by strong directional characters at the current paragraph level.
     * Calling setContext() with specification of a prologue will change
     * this behavior by handling the main text as if preceded by the last
     * strong character appearing in the prologue, if any.
     * Calling setContext() with specification of an epilogue will change
     * the behavior of setPara() by handling the main text as if followed
     * by the first strong character or digit appearing in the epilogue, if any.<p>
     *
     * Note 1: if <code>setContext</code> is called repeatedly without
     *         calling <code>setPara</code>, the earlier calls have no effect,
     *         only the last call will be remembered for the next call to
     *         <code>setPara</code>.<p>
     *
     * Note 2: calling <code>setContext(null, null)</code>
     *         cancels any previous setting of non-empty prologue or epilogue.
     *         The next call to <code>setPara()</code> will process no
     *         prologue or epilogue.<p>
     *
     * Note 3: users must be aware that even after setting the context
     *         before a call to setPara() to perform e.g. a logical to visual
     *         transformation, the resulting string may not be identical to what it
     *         would have been if all the text, including prologue and epilogue, had
     *         been processed together.<br>
     * Example (upper case letters represent RTL characters):<br>
     * &nbsp;&nbsp;prologue = "<code>abc DE</code>"<br>
     * &nbsp;&nbsp;epilogue = none<br>
     * &nbsp;&nbsp;main text = "<code>FGH xyz</code>"<br>
     * &nbsp;&nbsp;paraLevel = LTR<br>
     * &nbsp;&nbsp;display without prologue = "<code>HGF xyz</code>"
     *             ("HGF" is adjacent to "xyz")<br>
     * &nbsp;&nbsp;display with prologue = "<code>abc HGFED xyz</code>"
     *             ("HGF" is not adjacent to "xyz")<br>
     *
     * @param prologue is the text which precedes the text that
     *        will be specified in a coming call to setPara().
     *        If there is no prologue to consider,
     *        this parameter can be <code>null</code>.
     *
     * @param epilogue is the text which follows the text that

     * Perform the Unicode Bidi algorithm. It is defined in the
     * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/">Unicode Standard Annex #9</a>.
     *
     * <p>This method takes a piece of plain text containing one or more paragraphs,
     * with or without externally specified embedding levels from <i>styled</i>
     * text and computes the left-right-directionality of each character.</p>
     *
     * <p>If the entire text is all of the same directionality, then
     * the method may not perform all the steps described by the algorithm,
     * i.e., some levels may not be the same as if all steps were performed.
     * This is not relevant for unidirectional text.<br>
     * For example, in pure LTR text with numbers the numbers would get
     * a resolved level of 2 higher than the surrounding text according to
     * the algorithm. This implementation may set all resolved levels to
     * the same value in such a case.</p>
     *
     * <p>The text can be composed of multiple paragraphs. Occurrence of a block
     * separator in the text terminates a paragraph, and whatever comes next starts
     * a new paragraph. The exception to this rule is when a Carriage Return (CR)
     * is followed by a Line Feed (LF). Both CR and LF are block separators, but
     * in that case, the pair of characters is considered as terminating the
     * preceding paragraph, and a new paragraph will be started by a character
     * coming after the LF.
     *
     * <p>Although the text is passed here as a <code>String</code>, it is
     * stored internally as an array of characters. Therefore the
     * documentation will refer to indexes of the characters in the text.
     *
     * @param text contains the text that the Bidi algorithm will be performed
     *        on. This text can be retrieved with <code>getText()</code> or

     *
     * @param paraLevel specifies the default level for the text;

     *        If the method shall determine the paragraph level from the text,

     *        either <code>LEVEL_DEFAULT_LTR</code>

     *        paragraphs, the paragraph level shall be determined separately for
     *        each paragraph; if a paragraph does not include any strongly typed
     *        character, then the desired default is used (0 for LTR or 1 for RTL).
     *        Any other value between 0 and <code>MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL</code>
     *        is also valid, with odd levels indicating RTL.
     *
     * @param embeddingLevels (in) may be used to preset the embedding and override levels,
     *        ignoring characters like LRE and PDF in the text.
     *        A level overrides the directional property of its corresponding
     *        (same index) character if the level has the
     *        <code>LEVEL_OVERRIDE</code> bit set.<br><br>

     *        <code>paraLevel&lt;=embeddingLevels[]&lt;=MAX_EXPLICIT_LEVEL</code>,
     *        except that level 0 is always allowed.
     *        Level 0 for a paragraph separator prevents reordering of paragraphs;
     *        this only works reliably if <code>LEVEL_OVERRIDE</code>
     *        is also set for paragraph separators.

     * version 13,
     * also described in The Unicode Standard, Version 4.0 .<p>
     *
     * This method takes a paragraph of text and computes the
     * left-right-directionality of each character. The text should not
     * contain any Unicode block separators.<p>
     *
     * The RUN_DIRECTION attribute in the text, if present, determines the base
     * direction (left-to-right or right-to-left). If not present, the base
     * direction is computed using the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm,
     * defaulting to left-to-right if there are no strong directional characters
     * in the text. This attribute, if present, must be applied to all the text
     * in the paragraph.<p>
     *
     * The BIDI_EMBEDDING attribute in the text, if present, represents
     * embedding level information. Negative values from -1 to -62 indicate
     * overrides at the absolute value of the level. Positive values from 1 to
     * 62 indicate embeddings. Where values are zero or not defined, the base
     * embedding level as determined by the base direction is assumed.<p>
     *
     * The NUMERIC_SHAPING attribute in the text, if present, converts European
     * digits to other decimal digits before running the bidi algorithm. This
     * attribute, if present, must be applied to all the text in the paragraph.
     *
     * If the entire text is all of the same directionality, then
     * the method may not perform all the steps described by the algorithm,
     * i.e., some levels may not be the same as if all steps were performed.
     * This is not relevant for unidirectional text.<br>
     * For example, in pure LTR text with numbers the numbers would get
     * a resolved level of 2 higher than the surrounding text according to
     * the algorithm. This implementation may set all resolved levels to
     * the same value in such a case.<p>

     * <code>setPara()</code> or for a line of text set by <code>setLine()</code>
     * and return a string containing the reordered text.
     *
     * <p>The text may have been aliased (only a reference was stored
     * without copying the contents), thus it must not have been modified
     * since the <code>setPara()</code> call.
     *
     * This method preserves the integrity of characters with multiple
     * code units and (optionally) combining characters.
     * Characters in RTL runs can be replaced by mirror-image characters
     * in the returned string. Note that "real" mirroring has to be done in a
     * rendering engine by glyph selection and that for many "mirrored"
     * characters there are no Unicode characters as mirror-image equivalents.
     * There are also options to insert or remove Bidi control
     * characters; see the descriptions of the return value and the
     * <code>options</code> parameter, and of the option bit flags.
     *
     * @param options A bit set of options for the reordering that control
     *                how the reordered text is written.
     *                The options include mirroring the characters on a code
     *                point basis and inserting LRM characters, which is used
     *                especially for transforming visually stored text
     *                to logically stored text (although this is still an
     *                imperfect implementation of an "inverse Bidi" algorithm
     *                because it uses the "forward Bidi" algorithm at its core).
     *                The available options are:

     *                <code>STREAMING</code>
     *
     * @return The reordered text.
     *         If the <code>INSERT_LRM_FOR_NUMERIC</code> option is set, then
     *         the length of the returned string could be as large as
     *         <code>getLength()+2*countRuns()</code>.<br>
     *         If the <code>REMOVE_BIDI_CONTROLS</code> option is set, then the

     *         <code>getLength()</code>.<br>
     *         If none of these options is set, then the length of the returned
     *         string will be exactly <code>getProcessedLength()</code>.
