I am having problems with the directionality of numbers and mirrored

(5102 instead of 2015); with the explicit commands, the mirrored
characters are inverted as well.

we have several approaches:

the oldest method is based on some heuristics and targets at tex input in the sense that we assume tagging and directional switches

the other two are unicode bidi based (successive versions and there might be more as that evolves)

in any case, everything bidi / rl has to fit into some system and that's something idris and i are working on (well, we did at some point but we need to pick up that thread) ... so maybe you can trigger idris into onthology mode and help him
