Description
It would be nice to create a similar/identical plugin in vimscript so that vimmers aren't left out of the bidi goodness. I don't have any experience with vimscript, but since the plugin utilizes basic vim API, I don't think it would be difficult to write.
I'll wait until I have the neovim version stable at 1.0.0. If someone hasn't picked up the work in the meantime, I'll probably begin implementing it myself.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing Lua-based Neovim plugin and identifying the basic Vim API it relies on. Compare that behavior with Vim's available interfaces, then define the Vimscript port's scope and verify that it provides equivalent bidirectional text support in Vim.
