Character.getDirectionality mostly does bit-twiddling and array lookups.

For instance a paragraph separator character is neutral, and if one is seen, IMO, this function should not return true. Also see what the (java) spec has to say about arabic presentation forms -- they aren't considered to require bidi treatment.
