Description
https://github.com/servo/unicode-bidi
This crate is widely used across the Rust ecosystem including by Gecko, Servo, and the url crate. I believe it could be used to replace most of the code in https://github.com/linebender/parley/blob/main/parley/src/bidi.rs

Start by reading parley/src/bidi.rs and the unicode-bidi crate linked in the issue. Compare the existing bidirectional-text implementation with the crate's API and identify which code can be replaced. Done means a scoped decision and, if adopted, a working replacement that preserves existing behavior.
